a really easy way is to pull the bulb out and break the inner tabs off for the little filliment. Just bend the connections back and forth till they break off. Then pop the bulb back in.

Test the bulb out first. I just did this because I'm using LED's for the running light and the stock bulb for the blinker. I just forgot which filliment is always running.

 

So it's just an amber bulb, not a reflector? Do you get an error message by cutting the power to the 2nd filament?

 

Its an orange lens.

nope no error message. I've been running my lights like this for about 2 weeks now. Nothing has gone wrong yet. knock on wood.

ovahead, did you do this yourself? if so is it difficult to do and how long did it take you? did you have to remove the front bumper, i really wanna do this mod too, but very scared.

 

Hey how did you do that?
I mean get the fogs to work independent of the HID

 

euroG - the clear blinker might take you a while and it was actually difficult for me. I've never worked with plastic or shaping material before. The way I did it was shave out the orange filter with a dremel and then carefully shape a new piece to go in it's place.

Irony - that fog light you see is just an extra white led I reflected off the inside of the housing. I was going to do "angel eyes" but gave up.

 

ovayahead, that looks hott! what parts did you have to remove? and what bulbs are you running for the clearcorners and clearence?

thanks wicked. the whole headlight is wired with built in white LED's.

Linrose Supre bright LED part number BCMD333uwc-1 20ma
and Radio Shack 5mm 3.6volt 20ma 1100mcd

with 220ohm 1/2watt 5%tolerance resistors per 2 LED's
(whoever told me that splicing more LED's into the rear tail would not dim them, was wrong. LED's are very sensitive to change in electricity)

The side marker is still running off of a PIAA wedge bulb but I'm going to split it open soon and wire it with a white LED's as well.

I removed the Orange filter and fitted frosted plastic in it's place. It gave it a hologram effect kind of like a projector light. Everything was spur of the moment so I didn't take any pictures or jot down instructions.

Sorry for not posting a DIY, but I'll get around to it. I had to barrow a camera to get these pix in my profile.

I'm not trying to hold out tips from anyone so if you got questions just ask.

 

please make instructions on how to get rid of the orange turn signal!! we all would really appreciate it. i hate those orange turn signals!!absolutely hate them!!

 

SKYE has a how to on the DIY section

I used a dremel, some metal cone shape to grind the majority of the orange out (starting from middle working out toward the rim). I left about 1mm of orange then used a sanding cone to get it as close as possible to the edge. (use dust mask, goggles and ear plugs) It gets very noisy and dusty. If you ever got a sand sized piece of plastic in your eye, it ain't cool at all.
