I'm searching for clear turn signals for my 'little black bumpered' car. I'm not ready to pull the bumperettes off of the car and am ok with their look since it's a black car......maybe someday after I get some other mods done!
Can anyone tell if theyve succesfully modified the stock euro clear turn signals to fit their 'american' car ? I've seen a post about cutting w/ Dremel, but also posts about ruining them as well.
Can anyone give me some tips ? There's about a $100 price difference between the two styles and I'm wondering if I can (successfully) cut down the stock euros to fit.
thanks !

Or go to www.departstop.com and speak to Dayton. He's very knowledgable. I just bought some from him myself. However, after looking at them and seeing how they modified them, I can assure you that almost anyone can do it.

Hi....
AJ-USA sells the clear corner set for bumperette cars (US) for $140/pair.
I couldn't find it on their website (www.ajusa.com), but I see it in their lastest catalog.
Good luck and please keep us posted as I'm interested in doing the same.

They shipped the new lenses to me with orange bulbs. I think I'm going to use the orange bulbs.
Arrwin-
I called AJ-USA before going to Departstop.com. AJ said they don't sell them anymore.

A simple cure for the egg yolk look of orange bulbs is a $4 can of high heat silver paint. A light coat on the bulb, makes them all but disapear. I took a piece of cardboard, cut for "X's" with a utility knife to stick the socket end of the bulb in. Acts as a holder to keep you from having some funky finger nail polish and keeps the paint off the business end of the bulb. Takes all of 15 minutes and has lasted 4 years so far on my daily driver BMW. Never an issue with the police either. They still look orange when on!

I've had clear (white) bulbs for a few years w/o any issues. The motor vehicle statutes of the states I've researched (CA, NV, MD, ID, MO, IL) all permit white (or amber) front turn signals & "parking lights." You might check w/the MN State Police since the applicable MN statute requires bulbs of such color as may be approved by the commissioner of public safety.
