Thumbs up Ebay Euro Signals + Vinyl ~ Pics

So I just installed my "Euro" signals. I didn't like how clear they were and how you could so easily see the bulbs, so I used some Lockhart Philips vinyl mesh I had leftover from using on my motorcycle headlights.

They look GREAT in person. I'll post some night shots later. Simple mod, but I thought I'd share.






I went ahead and used the Vinyl on the marker lights as well.

Replace those bulbs. You'll get ride of the orange tint.
I don't have Euro's but have the rotary performace once which are similar (not the smoked ones).
Threw some extreme white bulbs or PIAAs in and it throws off a bluish glare which pops out at you when the sun hit it during the day.
To each his own but not a fan of the mesh you did...

I kinda like the orange flicker they give off. So your turn signals don't flash yellow/orange anymore?

Well I put mesh on one signal and got opinions from my friends. 5 of 5 liked the mesh better, as did I. I think you'd have to see it in person. It also helped the marker lights match the signals.

To each his own fo sho.

yup, blue on the flashers/turn signals, blue on the driving lights, Headlights and blue on the front and rear side markers as well as my reverse lights.
There all PIAA bulbs.
With the Euro side markers and reverse lights it really looks nice when there on and its night time. The reverse gives a stinging glow when I'm backing up and thats always a positive especially with the drivers these days.
I know the laws on the color of signals and stuff but I guess the po po don't cause I've been driving around for 5 years now with the lights as they are and now problems.
Enjoy your look always nice to see something new and different for the FD even though my opinion differs from yours

I got it from a motorcycle dealership. It is made my lockhart philips and intended for motorcycle headlight usage. S I'd call a dealer and ask them.

No my lip owned the curb!

Actually the lip needs to be remounted since it has hit a couple things and the attachments are busted up. In that parking spot, it rests on the curb without damage occuring.
