hyper white front turn signals?
 
yes i have searched...


But has anyone done this? i know hyper white rear turn signals are illegal here, but has anyone done that as well? any posted pics?

I was thinking of going red turn signals in the rear and hyper whites in the front. what do y'all think?

Good luck in ticket land if you go white in the back.
Red will work for ya.

i was planning on red in the back and white in the front?


how do the reds look at night when they are blinking? Are they bright enough that they dont blend in with the break/night lights?

how would they blend in with the brake/tail lights? the turn signal is blinking and the brake/tail lights are solid on or off.........unless you sit at a stop light tapping the brakes.

Anyway, if you just want no amber look when the blinkers are off.......then why not get stealth bulbs or LEDs?

Im not sure why, but if you dont want amber light when you are using your turn signals (its only amber when the turn signals/hazards are on) then I guess you can go red in the back, since some cars still use red turn signals......but in the front you gotta go amber or I guess white......

I personaly hate all the cars that have white/blue/green whatever color turn signals....

why do you want that look....hyper white isnt fooling anyone, they dont look like HIDs.

IMO turn signals should be left amber, it gives the best visibilty and lets people know your turning.

Yeah I'm trying to buy the "Stealth bulbs" but every where I look they are on back order :scratchhe

same here.. i'll probably keep amber in the front and go red in the back.

the reason why i asked if they blend in is because my friend has those 'altezza' tail lights for his civic, and his red blinker blends in and you can barely tell if the blinker is on from behind. that is why i asked.

ours tail lights aren't red filled. the red turn lights reflect off the chrome surrounding so you can still see it.

I did this swap a while ago. white up front and red in back. and white sidemarker lights. I just wanted to get rid of all the amber.

did the white up front turn out alright? any problems with people not seeing the blinker at night with our HID's on?

I purchased stealth bulbs for my turns and am very disappointed. They are very dim compaired to the amber bulbs. I'm all for upgrading lighting, but not at the price of safety. Leaving mine amber for now.

i went all LED, you cant see any color when off, and on its BRIGHT/SHARP amber for the turns and side markers, and red for the tails.

i love the amber, and my yellow fogs.....its JDM, lol
