Smoked turn signals installed. Really goes well with the smoked side markers and black fogs!

Theyre from ebay but just the housings. I wasn't feeling the halo drl and sequential turn signals - too busy in a small area IMO.

I do have LED bulbs in there though

I agree with you there! As I have gotten a bit older I have a strong desire to tone it WAY down so it can be fun on the street again. Good news is I have a ton of the original equipment in storage along with the car. It would be a pretty extensive process though. Ill keep an eye on this thread as well as hopefully start one of my own soon.

Do it @nossty1

@CoreyD yeah I've been looking for an honest opinion on them cause in photos it's not translated well.

I have the side markers also went white up front red in back..... think I'm gonna get a red front one though. The white is yellowed due to the housing so it doesn't match the strip on my drls

The front side markers are actually shorter in length than the rears. Even if they did interchange, the red on the front would attract the attention of law enforcement.

So far so good. They seem to install well. Just that they are Chinese and have a ton of tiny leds. I just hope the don’t randomly burn out and it will look like it’s missing teeth. Lol. Love the look 100% though.

Been doing that for years on fbodies, actually corrected it to run these lights. The camaro rear side marker is the same size and the trans am fronts. I'd been running red ones up front since 06. LEO'S generally only care about forward facing lights especially if they blink then they go after you for impersonation.

Dealing with a no crank no start now. Hadn’t drove the car in about a week. Went to start it and nothing. Figured the battery was dead so I put it on the charger for a day and still nothing. No CEL or security light either. I can hear the starter relay click once but that’s it. Tried swapping the ignition and starter relays too. Battery tested fine at Oriellys

Printed this bracket for my license plate LEDs. The old led strip I used was pretty visible from behind the car, so the idea was to hide it a little more. Prob should have had the bracket step up 5mm or so from the mounting point, but it will do for now. New LEDs are more white now too. Old ones were a bit too blue for my taste
