Depo smoked turn signals - Improved!

whats the "flasher ricer" thing?


Mariano

You know, those strobing flasher lights that ricers always have on their cars?

I have the Depo smoked lights, and I did the same as you Josh. Depo Lenses on stock housings.

I did it partly because of the laziness factor. It's easier to simply out lenses than it is to swap out 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).
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.

Oh, cool man. I'm going to have to swap the OEM housings onto my car (late model turns -> early model car), but I wanted to use the OEM housings, anyway.

Why not just get the MHW lenses? They look better anyway - especially with the amber insert.

[Jand3rson]

What do the MHW's look like?

[netcsk]

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

Exactly what I was about to say.

[MR 325]

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.

ahhh, thats what I thought in the first place.

[CleanAzzE30z]

but mine are the early style ones.

Erik, so does that mean that the large bulbs that came with these are single filament? Will I have to get dual filament bulbs to use with the OEM housings?

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.

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

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

Thanks, Erik.
