Hey, I like Randy's idea. The paint matches my new wheels too.

Randy's work is FINE. i think any paint there will likely crack and brown over time. May be the only option for us. i do not like the blues.

I know people who have received tickets for clear turn signals on other cars. They were not ricers or other obvious target cars. One was an otherwise stock 80's BMW sedan.

Bekkers sent 1157's which are silver but illuminate amber. They pulg right in and look perfect with clear lenses. A bit brighter than stock.

I nthe meantime there is another option available: LEDs and resistors that look to the relay as if there were regular bulbs installed. The LEDs are clear when off, which makes them almost invisible.

I just realized I don't have them listed in my store, yet...

Will add the kit in the next day or two.

Hacker... this is the 928 forum. The Ranger forum is down the street.
