RE: Installed stealth bulbs in clear corners
ORIGINAL: Burnsy
i bought smoked corners and stealth bulbs, put them in, and was teribly disapointed.
All you could see was the filament glowing, it did not make the face of the lens amber whatsoever... This looked really dangerous and illegal to me... If any car was next to me looking down at my turn signal, it would look like there was no turn signal on... As long as you were above the lense you couldn't see anythig.. So it took em out and returned em... It's a shame though, because when they were off it made the front end look sooo much better. All well. [&:]

RE: Installed stealth bulbs in clear corners
Thanks guys! Like most of you I have a ton of ideas on what to do next. The corners definatly made a big difference. The other huge styling change came from painting my calipers <-- write up and pics also. The paint only cost like 20 bucks and made for some awesome eye candy.
Back on subject. I do not have an issue with seeing my turn signals. They glow orange like they should and look amazing. My wife even said the bulbs make it look a lot better and that is saying a lot since she isnt a gear head.

Torch Red...be careful. That is illegal in most states and similar to a post above, it is harder to see the white lights in the daytime. If someone dosnt see your turn signal you have a greater chance of being lit up.
Not knocking your choice...just saying it is safer.

i highly doubt I got 4 bad bulbs... I am talking about doing this during the daytime, are you guys also talking about these stealth bulbs lighting up the smoked lenses like stock during the day?
