you just need to get a bulb that flashes amber, they make some that look silver, but flash amber.

You can use the original amber light if you wish. The blinker housing will look a lot more clean (silver) going with an LED replacement, or Sylvania SilverStar bulbs.

The problem is that once you remove the orange reflector form the housing, it is considered illegal. I have never heard of someone being cited by the police for this, but it is possible.

which means a fix it ticket, followed by re-baking and puting them back in.. a risk worth taking, since it cost nothing..

I used the original sealant (grey stuff). No fogging here either. When you put the housing back together, its important that the sealant is hot enough to be squished for a nice tight seal. I put it on the floor and put a lot of my body weight on it when I put the lens back on the housing. I was afriad I might bust it, but everything came out ok.

Yea, I didn't have any fogging issues, but it does require a good deal of force to pop the lens back in

Ok did 2 sets today. best way to put them back together is reassemblem and try to close up as much of the gap as you can put back in oven @ 200 for 6min now the glue is soft again press it all together and let cool worked great no problrms.
