ordered my clear corners...
 
I ordered corners for my car last Friday... and bought red ligths to replace to dull looking regular color bulbs. Do you guys think that this will look ok?! I'm curious if anyone else switched the color of theirs, besides Chad. They should be here any day now. :)

I used the amber bulbs but painted them with white so they didn't show through, but worked properly

cool i have blue ones in mine to match my headlights, i was going to get red headlights and stuff but then id have to change my fogs, change the big turn signal bulbs in the front, my highs, and everything so yah i just went blue but red is cool, only thing is if your local authorities are real strict they may not like you having red in the front, but where i live they didnt care because i had a friend with an explorer and he used red.

We call the cops around here in Walker" Walker stalkers". but I have to admit, they aren't THAT bright... I've seen some messed up colors on cars around here I should be ok. most of the cops are too lazy to pull you over for that. When I get my windows tinted... THAT will be another story.

Quick solution...

Upgrade your headlamps (lows) to Silverstar or CoolBlues and install stock clear turn signals...no paint required.

On my car (as seen below) the turn signals are clear bulbs, but in comparision to the headlights, they look amber"ish". It was less risky then painting a bulb.

Oh and Mel, good job on the clear corners...they'll look good on white. ;)

klystronik 09-28-2005 08:01 PM

I used amber and they don't show thru at all during the day(on ebay clear corners)...looks good at night too...not a huge difference though.

L27Buick 09-28-2005 09:06 PM

i dont think walker will car. as long that they light up near stock color( why i choose clear).




btw i didnt know u lived in walker? u mean standale walker right?

i was going to post about the silverstars, i just bought a pair of them for 20 bucks through amazon

SilverStar® Signal Lighting gives you the crisp, clean styling of progressive clear lens signal lighting design and produces 100% street legal amber light when lit. Sparkling iridescent blue lamps eliminate the orange glow of amber signal lights.

You can see the difference in style with SilverStar Signal lights compared to standard amber signal lights. Eliminate "the fried egg effect" and get the crisp, clean look with SilverStar signal lights.

Kinda... I live on Leonard in Walker between Maplerow and Kinney... only like 3 minutes from Standale. Do you live near me or something? I know you're the only other person that showed to that car meet last Sunday besides myself and Chad.

L27Buick 09-29-2005 08:27 AM

lol yeah im local i live on 14th ave. between lennard and lake michigan drive. u know where whites mobil home park is? yeahs its a trailer park but its cheap living which helps savwe for a house. thats why i came to the meet cuz its like 15 mins or so from my house. sol lives in allendale their is a few grand rapids members but their not very active.

Melissa 09-29-2005 01:16 PM

So you're between Standale and Allendale? Your park isn't that big right? I've been through it once or twice I think... I had a friend that lived in there a while back. That's cool though, we don't live that far form one another, and Chad lives across town near East Grand Rapids... but I assume you know that already. Anyways, my corners just came in this morning, i just finished putting them in with the red lights they look AWESOME, I'm so happy. Once Chad gets back from Vegas I'll wash up my car and have new pics maybe even a sig. finally! ;)

L27Buick 09-29-2005 07:52 PM

yeah its a small park but its cheap.


get some pics of the installed clear corners when u can.
