    uhmm. no he means the side turn signal on your fender. idk im also curious about this... but im pretty sure blue is illegal and you need to have amber

    ill keep the amber color, i cant stand blue lights on a car exterior (beside where they belong, like on police cars) i just want to paint the casing interior but seeing them from a closer perspective, i will just tint the "glass" part

    i tinted mine :) they look sick. in order to take them out you have to remove the plastic covering thingy inside the arch of the wheel (where you put the mudflaps). once you took out the covering... you juss unhooked the side marker from the inside.

    NO

    to take them out you just push the marker towards the front of the car and then pull out... extremely easy to take out..

    I opened them... they dont have a amber bulb.. its just an amber "cup" covering a regular white 194 bulb... i changed mine to White LEDs...

    Opening them is not liek the headlights, they are sealed good... i took a REAL thin flathead and started prying them lil by lil.... you have to be careful and have patience... i cracked the case of one of them... i then sealed them back with clear silicone...
