:lol2: however, i do have to agree that i would like blue alot better because it's my fave color. wouldn't you just have to take the bulb out and change the bulb? i know that someone made them blink but they had to take off the whole fender.

Heck, why not just put random colors in for every bulb on every car. After all, they aren't there for any other reason besides showing off your individuality, right?

Buy a replacement set of side markers, cut them open, replace the yellow LED's (2 each side) with high output blues, put it back together with RTV (GE silicone sealant) and pop them in. (keep the old ones just in case.

The LED markers pop out from inside the fender after take the fender liner out.

Have fun if you must!

Dude, I hate to bust on you, but perhaps you should take a trip down to Pepboys and look in the teenboy racer isle and next to the obnoxious loud and large mufflers, you'll find all the blue and red and purple lights you need.

As far as removing the markers on the TL, I haven’t got a clue. Whatever you do, please don’t put on those poor performing two bladed wipers that they sell for 15 bucks...

This is silly. Do you suppose that the original post is a troll, just trying to get us going like this?

No one would really replace the side yellows with blues unless he was 17 an liked tickets.

BTW, my kid, 17 did this and got fix it tickets uptheass. The cop wrote him up for everything in that car, just to show him.

Yep, just like my little one "they won't pull me over" Right,

Wrote him up for tints, all the bulbs, something hanging on his mirror, his muffler (which was legal, not even loud), did a sobriety check in front of the Starbucks. Hah, hah.

Changing the side lights to blue would do two things...(1) Make you look like an idiot and (2) Get you pulled over frequently. PS- Adam209: I spoke to your daddy. He's had enough of your crap. From here on out your on your own so by all means please make your planned changes.
