what do you have for your turn signals/corners ? are they switchbacks or are they just a white led ?

my chrome bulbs aren't bright enough so i'm thinking of just getting orange led bulbs. not really feeling the switchbacks.. but we'll see

it is just a regular white bulb
I did LED once, but it won't light up as a parking light and it blinked so fast unless with additional resistor....

OD. I'm sure it is illegal, and especially with 10 lights combined shining at you.

What i meant was the light signal worked but blinked very fast as if telling you one of your signal bulbs burnt-out, but not. Without additional resistor, it won't turn on when you switch the headlight on parking light (ie one switch before HID light)

In Canada, our highbeam is also as DRL once you fire up and release the foot brake.....

Here is my

Clear your headlights.
Lose the yellow high beam because it does not flow with your car at all.

The LED? yes it is real white, but appears to be blue on camera
I have been trying to find the good one that can fit in that gap.....by far this is the best LED size for that gap....

my = too much going on with the whole lights thing i mean its not cool when the front end of your car looks like a christmas tree at night. but hey atleast get rid of the yellow high beam first and foremost... then the rest i guess u can get away with if you really like it that much but then again im just a "less is more" type of person with my cars.

There are 1G TLs in Canada and they have clear headlights because our headlights come cleared stock. It is all about the bulbs. As long as you have a bulb with amber or a switchback then you are good.

Clear headlights on your car would make your car look sooooooooo much better.

Dont like the two color side, consider rewiring to make the turn signal only come on when turning

I'm with you on this one. I've been wanting to see that to. But the LEDs in the duct don't really fit. I would say use the flex LEDs stripe lights they have for those who want to put them in the headlights. They are longer and, for the most part, weather proof. And they would completely fit duct better. IMO

something like this


to look more like this

+
see how it fits the whole duct??
