Do you think these bulbs would light up the amber-diffuser better?
I smoked my ambers out a little too dark.. and in daylight you can barely tell that I'm signaling... but at night it's perfect.

My labor is $150 for blacked out V2 plus the $25 trade in charge. You'd have to buy the bulbs off of ebay. If you want to opt for the trade in program then just add your name to the list above in the appropriate year TL section.

If I do the blacked out V2 and leave the amber diffuser in their you'll get a nice blacked out look without loosing light output. Your blinker/parking still will work as they are right now here is what they look like
and here is a thread showing how they look on st04lois' car

JnC posted what I was thinking about doing with the chrome strip painted black with the amber diffusers left in place.

much appreciated guys. its still just a little to amber for me. do u have a pic of it blacked out with the amber diffuser?? with the reflector blacked out it would still project but with a little less quality during the day?as having a v1 right? .. is there a way of spraying a "mist"of black on the diffuser? (not worth it/wont look good/doesnt make sense) what u think. i just feel the diffuser makes it so much cleaner then without it.. thanks again

I have a question about the bulbs for the trurn signals. For either the cleared or V2 options are the chromed amber light bright enough? I've seen many reccomendation for the switchback LEDs but I'm a little on the fence with them. What do you reccomend?

^^ Yeah working on them right now, as we speak I have already found one of the main problem with the passenger side headlight, the body shop goons who worked on your car put in D2R bulb (a broken one I must add) in your projector. Projector based headlights take D2S bulbs
Once the headlights are opened I'll fix the broken tabs inside, I also noticed a huge bulge in the middle of the headlight casing which suggests that headlight was indeed in an accident and in the accident the there was damage to the internals.
