Writeup on clearing turn signals

Does anyone know where I can find a writeup to clear the turn signals? I've seen it done and I was hoping to do it while I have some time off. TIA

You know they are orange for a reason.
So that people can see you from far away when you have your turn signal on

As far as I know, most countries in Europe require everycar to have orange turn signals. They are easier to see from far away, through rain, at night, through snow and through fog. This is why most European cars have an orange rear fog light so that you can see them from far away.

But I suppose, as much as it hurts to say it, we are not in Europe, so go ahead and get your clears........

There was a write up on the forum on how to remove the orange piece from the signal a few months back. Just do a search on the forum you should be able to find it. It involves heat turn signals in the oven to melt he adhesive used to seal if follow the write it comes out great. I did mine but I don't remember the temp sorry.

i was just in europe and when i was there every car that had rear fog light, it wasnt orange but it was red, my aunts peugeot n about every other car i saw, mercedes have them built into their rear red lights, thats why u sometimes see even mercedess here in the states with one light brighter then the other when driving behind them, thats cause they have their fog light on
