Wasn't there one with the skinner turn signal strip posted earlier today on C/L?

the clear is thicker because the OEM have the orange circled off by a red while the clear is just a piece of clear below the red...

btw, mine's a thin non snowflake LED

Thank you solo. I think it could still work. Hmmm I will have to talk to chrispy about it.

hey guys,

my retrofit guy in SF said it is a pain in the *** to seal the lamp when from two different manufactures (OEM & Aftermarket). He also mentioned that aftermarket tail lamps are a pain to open up and at times, it may be damaged.

Looks like this idea is going to die.

Solo, do you have a link to the lamps you measured?

Did you see the DIY amber removal thread?

found it. looks like it is OK.. but next concern is the quality of the aftermarket lamp.

Jimmy, I have a feeling a manufacturer may be making LED tail lights but with amber turn signal lens soon.

eek, the amber is exactly what i'm opposed to. the best would be the OEM lights but with the thin clear signals...i hate the LEDs, either version, but they're just cheaper than the JP offerings

not so fast! I've been thinking about this.

maybe you can cut the black backing away from the lense, not where the lense and the black plastic meet; but somewhere on the black backing where the plastic starts to take its dome shape near the lense....do the same on the other light, and swap...... then epoxy or glue back together.

looks possible


pingu you have that spare light for sale right?

pingu

Yes I do. There is a member on here that was from Dubai that did the swap.

dusouth

any pics........?

Do a search for the thread.
