Hey guys, I do not have projectors headlights and I want to do something about the orange turn signal.



That little orange bulb.. I know the lens is amber, but is there an LED or a DIY on how to swap this out and make it look like this:



I'm ok if it still blinks orange, I just want it to look white..

 

I'm pretty sure that there's an actual lens inside the headlight making it amber. Someone else will have to verify in here before you do anything.

If it is a lens like I'm thinking, you need to do the following:

-Remove your headlights from the car
-Remove the ballast from the headlights
-Find the rear screws that hold the lens to the headlight body (there's 3 of them)
-Preheat your over to 200 degrees
-Bake the headlight in the over for 15 minutes
-Pull it out and gently pry the lens away from the headlight housing

Once you have it separated, you should be able to get behind the lens and look at the amber part. I'm pretty sure you have to dremel that out.

After you've gotten the amber part out, attach the lens as best you can to the headlight housing, rebake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees, then really attach the lens.

Follow the rest of the above steps in reverse order and you'll be good to go.

 

Didn't find a true DIY but that I believe is the basic method. From another thread:

open them up, dremel out the Amber diffuser in the turn signal, replace it with a clear one (either buy one that was in an '06+ headlight assembly, or go to Home Depot and get a sheet used in fluorescent fixtures), reassemble the light

Several people have done this, including G35papa and 4DGS

 

Well... It'd seem like I was basically right on this.

 

or if you just dont want it to light up orange just use electrical tape over the 2 center prongs on the bulb and then it will only blink with the indicators. but you still have a orange lens in it but at least its not as visible at night.

 

easy method... get 06 headlights.
