Cleared my headlights
Just completed clearing my headlights, my first real mod to my car, it was real easy, although i had to run to Advance Auto to get a T10 screwdriver to get the inside of the headlight out to get the amber piece out, in the tutorial it said it was a phillips head. I used GE Silicone II, i let it dry for a couple of hours and then washed my car, no fogging at all.
Do i need to put in a yellow bulb for the turn signal? Is it elligal to have a white bulb? If not then i'm going to put in a brighter white bulb.

not elligal, but illegal. i'm pretty sure it's not legal to drive around with clear bulbs for turn signals.
the torx screws are only present in coupe headlights. i found that interesting...
sedans use phillips head screws.

Yea Illegal, typo, hmm thats weird they would use 2 different screws to different types of cars. I like the all chrome look, i wanna see what the black projectors look like, i have a friend with them and she is selling them for $100. Also after i put everything back together and got the bumper back on i turned the turn signals on and low and behold, i forgot to plug the damn lights in on the right headlight, so i had to take everything back to get the wiring, i had the left done, but then people talking to me got me distracted.

Its not "legal" to have white turn signals but, cops wont really pull you over for that...
Of course if you get pulled over for speeding and a cop is having PMS he can add it to the list.
White turn signals are ricey, get some nice orange ones

I like the way it looks at dusk whenever its not dark enough to turn the headlights on but just turn the parking lights on.

the parking light wires cannot supply enough voltage to the bulb as it is so getting a "brighter" bulb would only be a waste of money. i had some PIAA "super white", or whatever the hell they were called, bulbs in my parking light and the blue coated bulbs looked purple!
