European spec bi-colored turn signals

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a new set of these? I've modified my housings to have the extra running light on the outboard edges. Thanks.

They actually are not bi-colored, they are clear with an yellow turn signal bulb and a single outboard white (194) bulb. The pictures of them with the yellow bulb reflecting off the mirror sheild makes them look bi-colored.


Corksport has the clear S4 lenses.

I have modified my front marker lights as well, so that the outboard light is the running/parking light and the main bulb is just a turn signal.

You don't need the lenses (which are JDM too BTW), you just pull the orange lense out of the stock lense and replace the indicator bulb with an orange one.

Here's mine after doing this:



From straight on you can see the orange from the bulb in the reflector.





You'd need to make a little divider to put in the housing to seperate the lights like the stock ones have.
Obviously this only works with the S5.

Yeah, I have an S4. I talked with corksports and they can't get the euro spec for me. I need to find someone on this list that can hook me up.

They might have clears, but they can't get the bi-color lenses.

I am sorry I didn't explain it well to understand.

The S4 and S5 euro/Aus spec lenses are not bi-color. They are clear.

The reflection of the yellow bulb makes them look like there is two different colors in the plastic.

I spent 3 months trying to trace them down, through a couple of different people in Aus and NZ.

There really is not two different colors, according to everyone I have talked to in AUS and Europe about them. They are only clear with a yellow bulb on one side and a clear white bulb on the other.

I know a guy that can get them from Germany. Get 5 people together and email me when you are all ready with money and I will make it happen I will get you the price today so you guys can decide. They are indeed clear lenses but there are 2 bulbs instead of 1 in the US version. One of the bulbs is orange and the other is white. Either way, they are tight looking

so are they in fact "euro" lenses? since you'll be getting it from germany, but then Icemark says its just 2 different bulbs....ours dont have 2 holes for 2 different bulbs right? im confused....

either way i'll be one of the 5 people! the S5 lenses will fit on a S4 right? i've been meaning to change my ugly orange ones to clear, but if i can get the euro lense and bulbs that would be great!

you can get the lenses anywhere, what we need is the whole turn signal setup behind the lense.

you can't get those lenses "anywhere". If you could I wouldn't be asking people in Europe to get them for me. And you can modify your turnsignal assembly.
