Depo smoked turn signals - Improved!

[Jand3rson]

Perhaps in your opinion. I'd rather have actual smoked lights than ones made smoked by vinyl film.

thats a pretty retarded thing to say

laminx in the best solution ive seen

Using Lamin-X to smoke your turn signals is just about as lame as using it to make smoked headlights.

If you wanted the two separate bulbs you could just use the Depo housing and swtich the two reflectors. Of course you'd have to drill a small hole in the OEM reflector to fit the smaller bulb, but you'd get the look you want and separate running/turning lights.

Nah, I don't need 2 bulbs, and the Depo housings are cheap and flimsy as hell, and I don't like the look of the cheap-ass wiring.

Are you serious? You just quoted the answer right above...

Of course, now I see that... :D

Thanks, Erik.

[Garageaholic]

Very nice writup. I have those exact lights. and will probably do the same thing. can't wait, thanx!

Erik, so does that mean that the large bulbs that came with these are single filament?

Are you serious? You just quoted the answer right above...

Yes, the large bulb is a single fillament bulb. Since you plan on using the stock housings like me, you will need to buy a pair of dual fillament bulbs for the oem housings.

Ohh, to answer the 2-bulb question:
-The large bulb is single fillament and meant to be used as a turn signal. The small bulb is for the running light (city light).

but mine are the early style ones.

The neat thing about having two separate bulbs instead of one dual fillament bulb is that you can have a clear bulb for your running light and still have an amber turn signal bulb.

ahhh, thats what I thought in the first place.

They look good Josh, cool to see something different although I like the MHW's better aswell.

Here's the MHW's on my old car. I removed the amber insert but installed amber bulbs.

The early euro bumpers have the same lenses as the late model plastic bumpers, btw.

Exactly what I was about to say.
