Don't you also have some amber Leds for the rear turn signals? But I was reading one of the older posts you had to dremel the hole to make it fit. What LED bulb would I need so I wouldnt have to do that? I know the rear turn signals are 1156.

Blinkers up front that are clear when the parking lights are on and then when you put your blinkers on they go amber.

I want the ones though that are clear when the parking lights are on and then blink clear and amber when your blinkers are on but all the stores say they sell the amber only while blinking.

This is right after I cleared my headlights and I think they look way better imo. I cleared it and rocked them for half a year and now I love my car way more with the black housing. I get more compliments with the black housing as well. This is before my drop job, so its riding on Eibach springs as well. Its kinda a pain in the ass to install the springs yourself.

Ya not saying it doesnt look good cuz it does, but for some reason I like the all cleared version a little bit better. Who knows my opinion might change the more I look at it lol. Ya I imagine it is going to be a pain, but I rather save the dough and go for it myself. Whats the ahrdest point in your opinion?

Well the finished product wasn't the greatest in the sunlight...You can't really tell in the picture, but I got dust on the inside of the lens oh well. I'm still thinking about LED amber turns but I may just stick with halogens ones for now. I did not get the sliver edge painted like the great ones

7 minutes should be just fine..thats how long I did mine. 250 degrees, rack all the way at the bottom. Put a wet towel on a baking sheet, place headlight on towel.

It will be a bitch to pull apart..pry enough to get the tabs free-just dont pry the edges too much-edges will bend. Like someone else said-its like pulling apart a bear trap-you literally have to rip them apart it seems like..

BTW Ive done mine twice and both times all was good with above method

I will also suggest looking into the Nissan Butyl Rubber sealant. Comes in a roll. When reassembling, roll the sealant out inthe groove, re heat until it's soft, just a few mniutes and put the headlight back together.

yeah, shouldnt take you more than a couple of hours labor..if youre painting make sure to give it plenty of time to cure.

like bearcat said-that nissan stuff is good for re-sealing. The first time I did mine I just re-used the old stuff. Put the base in to get the sealant soft and pressed them back together.
