i have a coupe, would like to know if its possible to do this mod where the signal lights only come on when you signal, and stay off the remaining time? If so, how can I do this please?

Thats a great mods and looks good at night, IMO. I figured there are 2 ways to do it, 1 is to get a dremal and cut two of the four metal connections on the bulb, i would need to check them out to see which ones ther are. 2 get some electrical tape and cover the connectors and plug then back in.

Ill see if i can take pixs if anyone interested.

badtziscool - What Im referring to is the turn signal in the headlight assembly, not the side marker. I turn my turn signal in the headlight off and only blinks when used (like the sedans) and all my lighting matches since i have clear corners already.
So at night only the headlight, clearence strip and sidemarker are on (i changed the blubs to match the hids) and they look really great at night..

exactly, we're talking about that small, circular amber light inside the headlight housing... what we're trying to do is, when we turn on our lights at night, all the lights will light up except for that one. The only time that amber light will light up is when we use our signals, understand? This in my opinion would look so much better at night, since our lights will all match, for those of you who changed out your clearance strip and side marker bulbs... it would look nice...

Interesting...I would trade you headlights if I could. I have a sedan and was wanting the light to be on with my headlights, instead of just blinking on turns.
