question, i just recently blacked/cleared my headlights, but now i just found out about this ZKW lens... when i had my head lights apart is was very easy to get the lens out from the front (just wanted to see what it lookd like) ,,, just curious if it's possible to replace the lens without taking the headliight out again, and unsealing it? from the back possibly where your change out the HID?

For the lens swap you need to have the headlight opened.

You are in NY, priority mail to you shouldnt be more than 15~20 bucks and it will get there in two days. If you were to have it done before tomorrow then I could have hand delivered the headlights to you since I will be in queens on Saturday.

I sent you a PM, here is where you can get the switchbacks from the following site.

http://superlumination.com/images/au...d_smt_a_wm.jpg


This is the one you are looking for, 48 SMT

Yeah I know that video, the white overpowers the amber a bit when turned on. You will have white (almost the same color as the led strip) at parking and amber when you turn the blinker on, also know that you will need resistors to avoid hyperflashing (when the indicators blink at faster than current rate).

You need " 6 OHM DELUXE ALUMINUM" one per side. from the following page, again you only need these if you DO NOT want the turn signal to flash at a faster than normal rate.

Install is very easy.

black0ut dont worry about the switchbacks not showing up before he starts your headlights. you literally unscrew a plug in the back of the headlight, remove the old turnsignal bulb, insert switchback and screw plug back in.

did I mention you're the man? well BIRD is no longer the word...JnC is the word!
i don't think i'll mind the hyperflashing so much...my RSX was the same way. if it starts to annoy me i'll pick that up. besides, i try not to use my blinker too much...especially when i'm merging into traffic near elementary schools, retirement homes and dog parks joking!

originally that was my thought, but i remember reading a thread about switchbacks and soldering...maybe i was hallucinating?

the old style switchbacks were 1" diameter, new ones are 3/4" diameter. Since our headlights have 3/4" diameter, owners used a soldering iron to "enlarge" the hole

the front turn signals are 7443 for the regular 04-08 base TLs.....can someone advise me what is the size for the rear turn signals? is it 7440? or will 7443 fit?

i believe rear turn signals are 7443 as well. I hope so since the LED's coming in the mail for rears are 7443.

Just TL-S that are 7440...somebody who knows for sure, feel freeto correct me
