yeah it took me forever to get the reflectors out. my arm started to get a lil tired and i was getting fustrated.

 

**** I actually did this too, but I accidently kind of scratched the lense, its not going to show up when I light it up right? its not too noticeable, but I'm pissed!!! ARGGHHH

 

Im pissed because I broke my clip to the plastic thingy behind the bumper...it had to be the bottom one too >< ......but honestly I think im one of the few people wanting to go back to my stock corners....the clear's look a little dull on the WB ....think the orange made the car stand out more ((in a good way))

 

Done!!! Thanks again for the great instructions and unique idea...I had to stay with the amber bulbs coz Maryland doesn't think clear with clear looks cool .... but what can I say.

Great job and look forward to more of your mods.

 

Great DIY, thanks! Looks soooo much better ^.^

 

stupid question, I don't care. Please, can someone answer me, i've had a long day and am hoping someone will answer my stupid question first. then they can nag about me using the Search.

Where can i get white bulbs? ultra white, doesn't matter, as long as they are white. and prices?

 

you could try leds thats what i use and i like them.

try http://autolumination.com/ they are 194's

 

What bulbs are people using in their fogs and parking lights that more closely match the HID?

 

im using the 6 led white for the parking lights and white h11's for the fogs. i cant post pictures in the diy section so here is a link to pics of my car. there is one good pic of my lights

maybe someone here can help me out. i might be a little bit of a sped but on my 06 there is an extra piece blocking me from getting my hand in where i can pop out the tab. i can get to the screw but when i go for the tab there is a piece of metal that goes around the corner and prevents access to the tab. can someone provide some insight to this or am i just doing something stupid.

 

Can you post a picture?

 

msrecant, i figured it out. i had a friend helping out and we figured out that the piece that i thought was blocking wasnt actually doing anything. the corner just popped out after we pulled on the back of the corner. so they are on there now and thanks for the awesome diy.

 

What a great DIY...I mean, even I got it done in about 15 minutes. Great pics. No need for me to call my bf for help. Ha,ha

 

great diy made my clear corners simple! thanks!

 

how do you find out if you can keep white side marker bulbs or not in your state...is it legal in massachusetts or do you ahve to get the yellow bulb?

 

You can Google your states DMV Code for details on lighting. The issue is both the color of the light and the color of the reflector. If you are truly concerned about remaining "absolutely" legal then best not to change either, however, the chances of you running into problems with the law is pretty low (vs driving without a front plate in a two-plate state).

 

? for anyone to answer....i cant remember if before i switched my lights out if they blinked when i put my turn signal on but they dont blink now that i put the clears in, they light up when i turn on the lights....for some reason i cant remember...are they suppose to blink????

 

The side markers do not blink since they are not associated with the turn signals.

 

thanks go48 for a second there i thought i screwed something up =)

 

There's a DIY somewhere around here to wire them to blink opposite of your turn signals if that's what you want to do. Took me about 15 minutes to do that to mine

 

how did u do that?????

(make sure to thank Fray for pioneering this for us!)

 

Thanks for the great DIY. This is probably the best 5 minutes you'll spend upgrading the look of your 8.

Took longer to remove the reflector (a few minor scratches but invisible from the outside) then to instal the markers

 

Anyone have pics of an 8 with reflector left in? I saw the one the OP posted but it was close and a bit blurry. Anyone have one from farther away?

Thanks!

 

California laws suck..no tint, no modified exhaust (even if its carb legal elsewhere) amber bulbs in sidemarkers..blah blah blah, they just keep it as an excuse to meet their quotas or to pull you over to see if you've been drinking or if there's drugs in the car!
