Homegrown turn signals
 

I took my turn signals off and painted the inside part black then put the chrome piece back in and used 1/4inch plexi for the covers, the pic doesn't even do it justice

good idea but i think it might look better if you took the chrome piece out, i dont like it just me 2 cents

it looks wierd......haha like diffrent i wouldnt do it....i think the stock piece looks great well not for s4 but for s5 heh

I think that might piss off some drivers, as each time your turn signal strobes, it will look like a broken tail light.

My 2 cents? I think a completely clear lens makes it look like the lens fell out. I made an opaque lens for my S4 out of a piece of flourescent light cover ($5 for a 2'x4' sheet at Home Depot.) It has a diamond pattern embossed into it, a nice came-like-this-from-the-factory look, and with an amber bulb, looks great. Similar to an S5 lens.

what did u use to cut the light cover thing?

ya, what did you use to cut the clear lexan stuff? Did you put some kind of rubber or something around it so it wont let water it?

Answers Please!!

well i just went out and bought some of that matieral for the clear lenses. It was like $7.36 with tax at homedepot. Its that stuff that is for those floresnt lights. Now i need to cut it with my jigsaw because that crap cracks if u dont do it right :rolleyes:

black chrome would be kinda cool

Hmm... looks broken. If I had that setup, I think I would paint the black area behind the reflector with chrome (or any reflective silver) paint, then get some tint spray (hobby shops have it for lexan bodied cars) and smoke them babies. Then toss some amber bulbs in, and you're done.

heres the ones i made, i smoked them very lightly with white paint

and i cut mine with a dremel using the round sanding disc.

so you cut yours with a sander? Im confused :confused:

o btw scheister, i saw in your sig. CF bezel. Is that the radio surround one from corck sport that you cut out the holes yourself? If it is how was the installtion? What did you use to cut the cf?

i used the round sander bit, sandpaper spinning that fast against platic makes enought friction to melt threw it like butter. and i got the CG surround off ebay, so no cutting required. fitment is pretty good on the one i got too.

edit: ps use the edge of the sanding bit, just like the harder cutting bit.

so u used a round sander? I was thinking off using a jigsaw because that matieral cracks really easy? The sander didn't make it crack?

i would think the backand forth motion of the saw would crack it easier. yes it does crack easily, i found that out as soon as i tried to cut it with a razor. the sander spins fast enough that as soon as it touches it it melts it, also the heat of when you first touch the sander to it makes it pliable to where it doesnt crack.

so if it melts it...how do you even make shape of it?

Wow...you aren't too...nevermind. He used a cutting wheel basically.

I cut the material from Home Depot by scoring it repeatedly with a very sharp razor knife, and then snapping it off. I'd guess a hacksaw blade would do the job, too.

i used the rounds sanding bit just as if it was the cutting wheel.... i dont know how to explain it anymore than that....

i have had the best results , cutting a rough outline /basic shape with a cutting disc on a dremel,, boiling it ,, mating it onto the old lens with small spring clamps , and using a fine stone grinder to smooth it out and match the OEM lens. thats how i made the ones that someone linked to in above post

i just finished mine..... ill get pics up in like an hour
