Dude, why do your turn signals look red. I hope it's just the camera cause I don't think that's legal. Look real nice though.

Rep Power: 352 Yes, I did read what you said. You said you changed the bulbs to dark orange. Now you read what I said, which was did you change your bulbs to red, and your first sentence was..."no it's legal". Hmm, now going by sentence structure, my first question would have been answered by your first answer, which is where the confusion took place. Otay, otay.

Well those look all right but I could see the cops in my town pulling me over that for sure. I would have liked them white but thats just me.

Rep Power: 0 IMO, using covers like these to get the "projector" look, but cutting down on the efficiency of your lights is not the way to go.
Kinda like, you can put big rubber ***** on your little sister, but she still ain't a woman.

Rep Power: 0 Interesting theory about bouncing light behind the cover intensifying and all... by your theory, if I make covers with just pinholes in them, the intensity will be so bright it'll be like laser beams cutting into the road.
But, I suspect what you see is an optical illusion caused by the sharper cutoff of the light beam by the cover holes. The sharper transition from dark to light on the road may make it seem brighter but you have less spread into those shoulders as you drive.
Have you tried the magnet thingy attached to your fuel line too? They claim it aligns molecules of gas for better power - it's true! Buy-em in the back of Popular Science.

Rep Power: 0 They look ok, but I am still undecided as to weather I like them or not on our cars, some look good and others not so much.
I would like to see some daytime pics, before I could decide.

i suspect you are a idiot. try them out and you'll see. you don't have to like my theory, that's why it's called a theory. but i know what i see, and you have'nt seen anything except for that dark pic i posted.

Rep Power: 0 ooooo.... to be insulted by someone with MAKE-BELIEVE projector lamps hurts sooooo bad.... ouch!
You know, if your theory were REALLY, REALLY true - don't you think all cars would come equipped with rice-o-matic headlight mask light intensifiers from the factory?

Rep Power: 0 Ok, what did you use to fasten the covers to the headlights? I have the same ones, but they don't fit perfectly and the double sided tape doesn't seem to hold them.

I may try my covers again. I painted them white to match the car, but just couldn't get them to fit flush. Yours look like they fit real good.
