Guest Anonymous Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Not to totally hijack the thread, but i would love to make the amber miniquads (center turn signals) in the front white/clear. I'm not sure if its a lense or a bulb, but i think it would look much better and cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's the bulb, but you'll find even if you put clear bulbs in there they wil give off a more amber glow than your headlights. Maybe a light blue tinted bulb would give a white light, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I like the front ambers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I always thought amber in the front looked cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 They do if they're on the corners. Speaking of corners, miniquad GPs don't HAVE corner signal lights! Wonder if that's a design mistake or if it really matters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 The little amber thing on the side that looks like a reflector acts as a turn signal and is lit up at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Guess I better check mine.. I thought those things on the side were just reflectors! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I HATE white too. I actually don't care too much for the bright yellow either..... Instead what i do is I put an amber bulb beneath the amber reflector (91 and 92 Lumina, + 91, 94 and 95 CS so far) making the light glow orange! I have heard of but have not tried to get "lens tint" in which case I would tint the clear forward lenses between the headlight amber with amber bulbs for the same effect! (plus these lens oxidize the same way ford headlights of old did, and look bad. - Ken (may I suggest an amber LED for those who want white? looks white except when lit!)

My sig kinda shows one lit up.  When I went to replace mine, BOTH fuckin' housings were so brittle, and the bulb had melted its harness, so the whole thing just snapped and broke. I duct taped them back in :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rabit Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I do really like how on newer VW's and Audi's, the turn signals in the rear look red, but they light up amber. I wonder how they did that? Â If im not mistaking, that is a red lense with amber LED (Light Emitting Diodes). Â LEDs are the shiznit. You can do about anything with them, (excluding headlights).
