Default Let there be light!
So I just installed my new housings today. I gotta say...SICK! Got them off CL for $100.













They look much better! Need to wait till nightfall to adjust them around a little. I also installed some LED turn signal lights.

Something weird happened.

Now...when I use my turn signals they blink double time as if a bulb was out. They all work... I dunno. The LED's look kind of cool though.

Whatchya think?

I thought so. Not enough voltage to register I suppose. Or low enough to trip the sensor.

Thanks!

The smoked ones looked much better IMO... And if light output was your issue, 55W 5000k woulda solved it.

Glad you like em.

Look closer at the closeup of the smoked. They were Hella old. Plastic was rotting and turning white.

The new ones look much cleaner, but i have to be honest i like the smoked ones better. What made you decide on these instead of new smoked ones?

Well a few reasons really. I'm getting away from the blk/wht look. Will soon buy chrome FR500's.

Not to mention these were only $100.

I agree I like the clear corners better. I just got a set of clear corner smoked lights for $110 on Ebay.
