I was thinking about changing my amber lights to clear. I also wanted to chage to clear corners. If i do this will it take away from the safty of the car? By this I mean will people still see the light flash in the day?
Thanks guys

 

well it won't affect the safety. the bulb is still the same and will be just as bright, if not brighter. but i think its quite costly to clear our the headlight. side marker is easy. has anyone cleared out their blinker in the headlight housing?

Its not that hard really I did it in about 3-4 hours. Only cost was the cost of the sealent--$20 from my dealer. I purchased replacement windshield adhesive, it work very well.


Here are the directions to do it youself. Clearing headlights If you need help just ask.

 

BTW after you clear the lights you can get amber bulbs. I used hyper white. Either way, they flash brighter after you remove the lens.

 

Thank you very much for the info

 

I did my headlight clearing at Generation 1 in Anaheim, CA. It's a few blocks past disneyland and they do a very good job. Total cost is $145 which is very reasonable (includes hyper white bulbs) but it takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.

 

$20? !!!!! I bought a tube of black windshield sealant from Autozone for $6. Worked perfectly.

Hamada, If you do a search on the forum, you will find many articles on how to do it. I had to set my oven at 215 degrees to get the lights apart. You can't rush the job, but I believe the results are definitely worth it if you have some patience!

Oh, and I went with the Hyperwhite bulbs too. There has never been an instance of someone not seeing my turn signals.
