hah thanks man

 

Will They Take The Car Back If Your Leasing It ?

 

need your opinion!!! Which would be better on a NBP? Clear or smoked headlights?

 

About the leased car question..... um I'm not sure since I haven't ever leased a car, but I don't see why not... So yes they will take it back


Smoked all the way on NBP....

 

Smoked. I had clear on my car for a little while and didnt like how it looked so I did the headlights again, painting them second time around. 100x happier with how it looks.

 

do you guys think putting a few coats of the clear over the black would help with teh reflectivity, while still retaining the awesome look? also, its ok to bake all the LED stuff inside the light? or does it all come out with the bulbs?

 

^-i didnt take any of the bulbs out the first time i put them in the oven. nothing seemed to happen. blacking out the lights doesnt make them that much dimmer (i havent really noticed anything) but yeah, you could spray some clear on there to see if it makes a difference

 

Thanks for the opinions guys, I think I'm going with the smoked also.

 

So.. I am gathering parts to make this happen for my TL.. last loose end is what is the best replacement blubs to replace current turn signal blub? I would like get this before I start this project in next 2 weeks.

 

Found this thread discussing using LED to replace turn signal light:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=turn+signals
Any other options?

 

are the flasher bulbs white or yellow behind the amber?

thanks

 

clear bulbs and when lite up it is very yellowish

 

oem bulbs dont look good once the reflector is removed. they are bright as hell also.

 

So what signal bulbs do you guys recommend when you clear them? I know philips make one that is silver and orange when lit up but they are not dual filament. So which ones do you guys recommend that are not LED??

 

I also would like to know this - I don't want to do the whole LED thing - but mine will be blacked out.

 

anybody know where to order any good clear amber signals?

 

A couple of us are using the chrome amber bulbs. They work pretty well for me

 

chrome amer
chrome amber bulbs as the one here sold on http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm for $3.49 ?

 

^ - I ordered mine from the same page, but when I did the picture they had for the bulb was different. I cant find my invoice but two bulbs shipped to my house was 10 bucks, so we are probably talking about the right ones.

They look exactly like the Chrome Dome ones except they are fully chrome. I'll get a picture of them in the headlights later if you are curious.

 

^ARe those dual filament???

 

So which one did you order? The full chrome or the chrome dome?

 

full chrome

 

silverbulbs.com carries the 7443 dual filament bulb. i have bought a bunch of bulbs in different sizes off of him and they are all quality products and i have no complaints.....

anybody got any pics of these installed?

 

i just wanna take a poll one more time guys, just really hard to make this decision!!! I have a NBP should i clear or smoke the headlights. THanks for your opinions.

 

yeah, ill take some tomorrow and host them asap

 

thanks subinf.

 

Like I said before, smoked, here are pics of mine with both...and I know the cleared picture has better lighting, but thats about all it has going for it.

cleared:



Smoked:

 

yea i do like it smoked, who did the install for you? how was the full chrome amber treatin you? was it very bright at all?

 

i did it all myself. the chrome amber bulb works pretty well. flashes bright and when not signaling you can still see the yellow/amber so i doubt you will get dinged for anything by the cops (assuming you dont have state inspections). i was going to do the leds but i didnt know much about their side projection since i heard they were only strong out the front.

 

I have 2 brand new chrome/amber bulbs for sale, anyone interested PM me or look in the blackmarket

 

Has anybody tried painting just the non-reflective stuff black and leaving the the parabolic reflectors. I know the first main write up has the fog light reflector left chrome, but has anybody tried this with the turn signal. It will surely aid in the light output, I'm just wondering how it will affect the badass output...

 

yea many people on this forum have done that
ding and ua6aspec have pics of theirs u can look for

 

Has anybody done colormatching on an ABP?

 

Not that I know of...

But I think blacked out would look sick....

 

ua6spec's ride:

 

Anyone have pics of the chrome/chrome dome bulbs installed with their blacked-out lights? Want to know how bright they look and so forth. I don't know which ones to buy but I'm getting sick n' tired of the stock bulbs.

 

^-so you want a pic when they are lit or just a picture of them in the housing?

 

subinf - might be easier for you (and everyone else) if you posted both

I want to try my hand at this sometime soon. Great write up!!!
