Re: help with turn signals (blacked out vr6)

If memory serves me correctly, you would only have the outer lense on the signal to protect the bulb, and your light would not seem as "bright" because that lense is not patterned like the inner clear lense. The clear lense inside takes the light and, through the circular pattern in the plastic, puts it out into the day (or night) so people can see it, a type of magnifying lense, if you will. It's just that the light won't be so bright. I have a set of cleared out ones that I'm looking to get rid of (they're genuine VW) for a set of smoked ones, if you're interested. Just IM me if you are...

i might have that inside clear lense, if you want to pay a couple of bux for shipping i'll send it to you, i don't know if i kept the cracked (on the outside) signal though, but i'll check tomorrow
forgot to ask, did you crack the passenger or driver side one?

i got hyperwhite bulbs in my turn signals... purposely took out the two inside ones... works fine, the light output is probably not as bright as it should be, but you can still tell they're on and flashing and shiz... no BIG difference...
