Default Custom Turn Signals

My turn signals on my car were cracked from heat. Instead of buying brand new ones that would more than likely do the same thing eventually, I decided to try something new to see how it would look and it was a good way to save some money.

That looks great man.. It would probably 'work' better with diffused 'glass to spread the light and reduce glare, but that looks killer when theyre off; very clean.

I've done it as well to mine, and posted a guide here, and got flamed for it and essentially called an idiot because I said that I used Lexan. Guess it's all in the presentation.

Looks ******' sweet to me! I used halo rings on mine to cover up the siliconed area (since I have a Formula style bumper which has round DRL housings).

I hear those fog lights come apart with some heat, their plastic lens, older were glass, kudos, lets see some night shots, I just went w/clear leds, no more amber. Looks more modern, IMHO.

Look good, but I would have used something more reflective for the housing.
