How to: Install Turn Signal Lamps

  

blackout -> How to: Install Turn Signal Lamps (11/14/2007 6:44:11 PM)

I didn't see any write ups and I decided to switch my blacked out turn signals to a set of clears from www.blueovalindustires.com for $68.00 shipped. So anyways I decided to do a write-up for those who want to do this mod themselves. It is very simple and takes about 20 minutes of your time while being careful.

Tools needed:
-1/4" Drive Ratchet
-7mm Socket
-10mm Socket

1.) Turn wheel all the way in or out (whatever you feel is easiest, I chose in) and remove three 7mm bolts from the fender liner inside the fenderwell.

2.) Next pull the liner out past the bumper so you will have access to your turn signals.

3.) Now remove two 10mm nuts, which are attached to a bolt on the opposite end.

4.) Pull back on the peice holding your turn signal in place(where you just removed the two 10mm nuts/bolts), this will unlatch your turn signal from the other end. Before doing so, detach your turn signal bulbs from the connectors by putting pressure on the prongs and slowly pulling outward on the connectors. Follow this by pushin in on the two outer clips to allow yourself to detach the turn signal lamps.

5.) Switch your bulbs from your old turn signals to your new ones by twisting them out of their sockets.

6.) For the reinstall repeat these steps backwards, but here is an easy way to get the turn signal back in place.

Finally, here is the finished product!

I don't use my headlights anymore because of the tint, so the fogs together weren't cutting it.

I had them blacked out before if you look at the pictures and personally thought the clears flowed better, with the chrome lip that will be on my new rims and the foglights. I'm going to be doing Agent47 mirrors, grille, and headlights shortly. Also I want to remove the stripe and add the 3D carbon hood and then have flat black stripes painted on.

I forgot, I also have stripes on the side, here are two pictures:

Yeah, the stripes were all only temporary. One because I couldn't find a good bodyshop for my car to repaint the doors (stripers cover the paint missing) and two my hood was repainted and has paint cracking... So I put the stripes on until I could afford the new hood and get the handles shaved on both sides. The side stripes are a C stripe and are hard to see lol... The hood is a BMS Superstripe and it is just the hood done. I will most likely be doing dual flat black with a pinstripe painted down the whole car. I get paid tomorrow and will be ordering my new shiny wheels!

mygt500 -> RE: How to: Install Turn Signal Lamps (11/14/2007 8:30:18 PM)

I think it has to do with the way they are molded or stamped from the plant....just a guess and thanks for the write up! I will make it a sticky in the near future!

Yay! I got a sticky! Wait... That sounded wrong lol... [:D]

I'm getting ADR MegaDish 20" Rims and swapping out my Pro-Kit for Sportlines. The stripes i'm looking at a few different options right now. [;)] I'm going to go either 8" with a pinstripe or 10" with a pinstripe.

Thanks, i'm going for painted soon i'm debating on a few various designs though... I'm debating on the duals because they are so common, but think I may try something more unique with just the hood done. We'll see, but this car is going to become an even bigger money pit than ever very shortly lol...
