Whistler'd Side Markers?
 
Plan on getting whistler'd HLs and was seeing if anyone has tried to whistler(not tint or niteshade) their side markers.
I've been searching and found only tinted clears on cars. Any input on the subject?
A thread I can't find? Personal experiences? Pics if done would be great.
Thought I've seen em done before but not having luck finding anything now.
I don't mind the blacked out markers but think a whistler might look sharp with over all color scheme I'm eventually going for.
Thanks
P.s. It's for my O2 camaro 35th le

You can't even really see into the sidemarkers like you can headlights, and there's no inner part to paint black unless you're going to paint the bumper? Not sure how you would even do this?

you wont see anything since they are orange colored lenses. if you are talking about using a clear lense then there are already lenses out there premade for this.

Yea I'm talking about clear lenses with black inside somehow. You have a link? I have searched and I'm having no luck

They should be on Amazon and eBay. Sorry I don't have a link but it you just look for the marker lights they will come up in the search.

I was actually thinking of whistler'd signal lights? I thought side markers and signals were the same thing. Mmmmderp it was late when I posted

PhantomR/T Jan 11, 2014 09:15 AM

the signal lights in the front bumper cover? You can just buy them with black housings...

stealth355tpi Jan 11, 2014 09:26 AM

Same thing then, check Amazon and eBay. I think I found mine on Amazon when I got them awhile ago. Just look for the brand Depo, those are the ones you want. Sometimes you can find the turn signals and bumper lights as a pair that are whistler'd.

I know to find Depos and I will keep red side markers with rally red car most likely. Thanks

yeah, black housing with clear lenses. Add some silicone to the seam all the way around them and you are good to go

F'in right 😎

BOBS99SS Jan 11, 2014 10:59 AM

vht your blinkers, or buy some ebay blacked out ones,

GuardianMagnuSS Jan 11, 2014 11:11 AM

Was mostly curious if people whistler'd the turn signals or bout the black housing. I've seen them nightshaded and they look good just think whistler would look better. If possible mine are stock orange so I can't see inside em

mjs1012 Jan 11, 2014 04:28 PM

I have the ones off ebay with black housings and they look good IMO. Im probably going to get another set because mine are full of moisture since I didnt silicone them.

Ls1CamaroGuy87 Jan 11, 2014 05:50 PM

^^ get a hairdryer and blow through the bulb holes to dry up the moisture and then silicone them... You'll save some money and time

I actually have the "whistlered" signals. Not like the ones sold today with the all black housings. Mine have chrome in the rear of the housing on the reflectors , but everything else is black. Matches my headlights PERFECTLY! But yes, do silicone all around the edge of the headlight and a nice new gasket on the bulb socket and you're set.
