In order to get clear corner blinkers........do I have to buy a whole new headlight housing? I want to make my blinkers blue or another color of my liking. Any help is much appreciated.

follow the link but just to warn you it is ileagle to have any other color in the turn signals other than amber

jmseals

chprbox8 is right, and of all the colors out there you DON'T want blue!!!!!! you'll be pulled over for sure and be pay'n some $$ in fines

hrm... i run hyper white bulbs in all my signals and have never been questioned... as far as tennessee goes i believe white or amber are okay.

zereaux

some states allow white or amber... but no other colors... just dont use your turn signals around a cop

Lol.... I have blue, no problems here in NM.. but its kinda white looking its like light blue, so maybe thats why, but im changing my bulbs to that stealth looking titanium one next month so if you want it to look all "Stealthy" like theres no bulb go with the titanium one! or if you want blue, but it blink orange, go with the ones u find like @ auto zone and such, there tinted like a shiny blue color, but they blink amber, thats legal!! :D

blue would be really bad. you would get pulled over in a heartbeat.

they are already clear. just put in a white bulb if you don't like the reflection of amber in there. Oh, you want to remove the reflector. wouldn't that be illegal? it's there to prevent a side collision. remove the reflector and there is nothing to reflect light back at the driver in the dark/rain/snow/fog. they won't see you till it's all over.

Yup, side markers (reflectors) have to be amber in the front and red in the rear.

This has been discussed several times on Scionlife. Tomas usually quotes some official documentation (like DOT). And federal laws superceed local laws.

yeah i removed the reflector and got the sylvania silverstar bulbs... i like em alot!

NewMexicoxBPhatBoy

Yeah.. the sylvania silverstar bulbs, thats the ones i mean, those are nice, i have those currently also..

Flecs

and Also I recommend the oven method, i think that method is WAYYYYYYYYY easier than the "Cracking" method, i did the cracking or screwdriver method the first time on my first set of headlights and let me tell you, the headlight lens/clear part was ALL CHIPPED UP! and full of the little chips from the reflector, the second set i did the oven method I WAS VERY SCARED to admit it, but than i left it in the oven @ 225 degrees for about 17 minutes and it just came right apart, no waves or nothing... now i currently have my stock headlights blacked out :D its awesome!!! hehe

Here is a step by step with pics of the OVEN METHOD I did on mine:

JDMJim

yeah, same for Illinois. ^^^ White cuz some japan cars have a white running light with an amber seperate turn siganl.

^^ all are correct do not use blue or red in the front U should know the reasons. and I silverstars are the mirror that light up orange right

jwaj2002

what would be cool to do would be get a clear reflector that when light hit it, it lit up orange

Flecs

that would be tight... invent it!
