Looks much better :thumbup:

Was it just a matter of opening the case and removing a reflector or something? That's what I'm assuming looking at the pics. I cleared the corners on my other car, but I just replaced the housing. (before (http://strahan.no-ip.org/pics/images/vehicles/1997 bmw 740i/100_1367.jpg) & after (http://strahan.no-ip.org/pics/images/vehicles/1997 bmw 740i/100_2087.jpg)). On my 99 Galant (http://strahan.no-ip.org/pics/images/vehicles/1999 mitsubishi galant gtz/im000456.jpg) I had to drill into one of the legs holding the reflector in to break it loose then put a screwdriver in through the turn signal hole and shatter it then pull the pieces out the signal hole. Big PITA hehe.

Silver incandescents are good. I tried an LED turn signal, got a $10 APC one and it sucked ass. It was VERY dim. I then got a $100 pair of LEDtronics signals (http://strahan.no-ip.org/pics/images/vehicles/1999 mitsubishi galant gtz/ledtronics.jpg). Much brighter (http://strahan.no-ip.org/pics/images/vehicles/1999 mitsubishi galant gtz/ledtronics-on.jpg) and better looking all around, but it made them blink fast because the resistance was off so the car thought they were burned out hehe.

I dunno i just thought of that geico commercial where they're in a news studio and the anchorman says its so easy a caveman can do it and that caveman who was holding the microphone says WHAT! slams the mic down and says NOT COOL then walks off. I love those commercials.

I did this about 2 months ago with mine, and used the silverstar bulbs. God was that a pain in the ass. Because of the kit, I had to pretty much remove the whole bumper just to get access to the two screws for the lights. What's normally like a 5-10 minute job was like 2 hours for me. But I guess it was worth it.

The LEDtronics led turn signals I mentioned in my prior reply are very bright and visible during the day. If you're using something like APC/Pilot/Matrix LED that's probably why you can't see them during the day. They aren't cheap, but worth it IMO.

Superbrightleds.com has very bright bulbs tht can be put directly in place of the tur n signals and they truely are brighter than the stock bulbs. they are a bit pricey though. $23.95 each but are true yellow and have no color when not on. This is what I will use for my turn signals when i clear mine.
