looking for a clear turn signal reflector (the one inside the headlight)

[arkat3kt]

As the title suggests, I am looking for a clear turn signal reflector to replace the factory orange reflector inside the headlight assembly. I am taking the headlights apart for angel eyes so I figured while I was in there, I would replace that reflector - if anyone makes one that is. Here is an image of what I am talking about in case anyone needs a visual. And yes, I searched for the better part of an hour prior to posting (help) Thanks!

I haven't seen a clear reflector before. I've seen people either take it off or spray tint it with VHT Nite-Shades. Are you going to get a silver/chrome turn signal bulb while you're at it? Might as well do that to complete the look.

Nightshades or vinyl is the only thing I have seen.

 

[arkat3kt]

Right on. Thanks for the replies.

Hank: I have already ordered chrome/xenon turn signal bulbs off the internet and will be installing them.

I'll probably just end up spraying the reflectors with Nite Shades because I am doing the same with the side/rear reflectors.

Cool - post pics when you're done

where did you get the bulbs? I have been looking for these...

Hell, I think I got the chrome ones I'm using in the rear of my car at Pep Boys.. Lol.

I'm using Silverstar signals in the front (I actually like the blueish/orangish effect they give in the reflector when not lit)...

I got mine off eBay, but other folks have purchased them from here:

http://autolumination.com/

It's about the same price. It's an absolutely horrible Web site to navigate through, but they're reputable. IIRC, it's 1157 dual circuit and 7440 single circuit. I would double check just to make sure though.

HOW DARE YOU ASK A QUESTION !!

haha. dude, with the headlight out of the car, you have invested


I'd like to do it, buuut I am nervous about bakin the lights

You MAY be able to mod a biycycle reflector to fit in place of the amber one

or paint it black with a small amber LED embedded

[bluelion]

with the chrome lights how do they look when there on? I am about to order these but I wanted to know how they look before I did.
does the amber look stock?
do they look amber when just on and not blinking?
anyone have a vid?

 

[Hank3]

Check post #2 in this thread for a pic of how they look when they're not on. It cleans out the look of the headlights and tail lights. When they turn on, it looks just like stock. For the fronts, when you have the lights on, they glow amber, and then flash brighter if you use the turn signal - hence them being dual filament.

Pics of before and after in tail lights:

how do you change the rear turn signals?

It's for the rear bumper removal but includes how to get to the rear bulbs.
