Turning signal lights

I got in a wreck today with this ****ty weather because of all the ice. I need to replace the front signals on my car and was wondering if I should go to clear or stick with orange. My cars pics are in my sig. Tell me what you think and if you do think clear where can I find some? Anybody got a link?

PS: How exactly do you replace them??

Re: Turning signal lights

I like the look of clear corners... It smooths out the front end of the car.. I think that blaring orange parking light is distracting on some colors... When you add the clear corner it blends together with the rest of the front.

I photoshopped a clear light from one of your pics... I think it looks good:

Re: Turning signal lights

NO doubt about it, Clears all the way. Make sure they are chromey too. I think they refer to them as diamond clears on Ebay. I got mine for $27 shipped!! Check my sig if you like. I would strongly suggest going with clear rear side markers as well. To complete the effect. Trust me, on your car it would look super clean.

Oh and GREAT job 94Z28WP on that photoshop work!!! You can see what a difference is made just from that small change.

Re: Turning signal lights

Man those clears do look awesome! Thanks a ton for the nice photoshop work. So are the corners the same for a camaro and trans am? I didn't see any on ebay that said for trans am specifically.

Where do I find those for the rear bumper? Should I also change the bulbs out? I was curious to find out if the front turn lights are just popped in there or what actually holds them on?

I have a quick and dirty write up for a 4th gen Formula. Should be similar to a your TA, but you'll want to double check things like bulb numbers and what-not though.

Where did you find your clear corners at? Do you happen to know if the ones for camaros are the same or not for our cars?

Yeah, all of the overlays, with the exception of door handles, and rear lettering are Brent's.

The front bowtie emblem is brushed aluminum. The Z28's are chrome, and the nose badge is carbon fiber with silver outline. Hope that helps

If you get the clears, I recommend that you get "chrome" covered bulbs. That way you don't get the fried egg look from you lights when they are not on. They're chrome but light up the color you want when you turn them on. LED's are also an option. This place I am giving you the link to also sells the chrome covered 3157 bulb for the front clears. I get all my bulbs through them, they and the bulbs are awesome.

Chrome bulbs:

Here is the link for the rear side markers:

The front Clear corners:
