    Cleared my turn signals - need opinions :)

    Ok so i've had these clear signals sitting around for a while so the other day i finally went and got orange bulbs for them

    Last night when I put them on I kinda didn't like them, though this morning they look better. I think i'll leave em on for a while before I decide if I like these or stock better.
    here's a few quick pix..









    anyways what do you guys think? keep the clear or go back to stock? here's a recent pic with the original signals for comparison

    Call me old but I like the Old ones better.

    maybe if you use Amber bulbs, it would look better?

    but as always NICE CAR

    i was going to do the same when i wanted to clear mine, leave them clear but use orange bulbs since i dont like the plain clear look....a little orange is good imo.

    and frantik, im sure youre using those "hide the orange" bulbs. i think silvania makes them as well as phillips

    yep.. i'm using the sylvania


    on other 3geez i've liked the clear signals with silvered bulbs, but i've never really liked the clear signals with orange bulbs

    Man I think that they look great. Looks much cleaner than stock orange lenses IMO. Especially on your car...

    actually it's cool maybe i'll like the orange bulbs.


    hmm actually I wonder how they would look with a tiny bit of nightshades on them.. the main reason i dont like them is that they're too bright now.. hmmmm

    I like it how it is right now. Putting orange bulbs in is kind of pointless. It will look very similar to stock, and only the trained eye will be able to tell the difference. I have those same bulbs (blue look) that I bought for my car, and I was going to do the same thing that you did, but I never got to it because I have to take off the kit or take off the bumper just to be able to reach the screws for the bumper lights, which sucks, but that I will do that sometime soon.

    sweet! maybe i can get mrs pico to show me some painting tips too

    on your car pico i think the clear with silvered bulbs looks real good but they seem to stand out too much on mine.. i think maybe the orange bulbs might help things but even more i think smoking them to match the way the jdm corners look will make an improvement.

    I think they look fine, amber is in right now because of the JDM thing...

    So I think you should keep them clear!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
