Blind Spot Indicator Color

Haven't seen any info on this yet...

With a slow LED conversion in progress, I was wondering if anybody changed the color of their blind spot indication icon. I'm not a fan of the amber color it produces and I actually think it's a bit bright at night with my 35% tints. I would like something a bit more subtle... especially because there's ALWAYS somebody driving next to me as I live in the city and it flashes everytime somebody is next to me. I do find it to be a benefit (when in hyperflashes) while changing lanes, so I don't want it disabled.

Any suggestions on changing the color (and don't say to take a Sharpie to it)? Haven't seen any write up on bulb size or the possibility.

Thanks guys...

put a smoke tint film on the inside of the cover, this should dim it.

You know, there's always that BSI OFF button that the driver can switch off the BSI manually.

BSi? What the fuck is that? Blind spot, I got a few of those. It's a good thing. Keeps me from seeing my old ladies ugly ass.

I say you're all a bunch of lazy meat-heads. Why back in my day fenders were used for fending. A little bump or scratch, maybe even a hole, who cares. Now-a-days you kids got all them doo-dad's and wizbanger's to tell you when it's time to poop. Well, not me. I'm not watching a movie on a fucking i-phone.

I don't want to completely turn it off... because I do find it useful when changing lanes. I don't depend on it by any means... but it's there, so why not use it? I just don't like that it's on too often, whether I'm passing or being passed. My complaint is completely aesthetic as I'm not a fan of amber colored lights.

Btw... Mr. Marco is a strange dude...
