Quick Question on Signal Lights
I noticed recently that my lights look different from everyone else. My orange signal light is never on except when signaling. Normally I see the headlight and the orange light on other G's, but not on mines. Any idea on how to fix that? I have a 2006 coupe 5at.
The earlier coupes came with different headlights. The earlier ones had reflector (instead of projector) HIDs for the headlight, and had orange running lights that doubled as turn signals.
You are probably seeing earlier model coupes (2003-2004).

2003-2005 coupe headlights have 7443 (dual-filament) bulbs in their turns signals. So the dim filament is on with the parking/headlights and the bright filament is on when signalling.
2006-2007 coupe headlights have 7440 (signel-filament) bulbs in their turn signals. So, they only illuminate when you signal.
If you want to fit a 7443 bulb in there, you'll need to follow this DIY:

Just putting in a 7443 bulb won't make it illuminate with your parking lights and signals.
You'll need to replace your 7440 connector with a 7443 connector and splice in a few wires.
It's not simple plug & play.
