Default Fairly easy to do

Actually they are fairly easy to do. Just wire the positive lead from the light to the positive on the headligh unit turn signal. Its best to use a relay but your not pulling much so just a simple rewire would get you by.

Globe, a looooong time ago on this forum someone actually diagrammed how to do that mod....It wasnt hard at all, they didnt use the relay either, just spliced the necessary wires......Tiny

hmmm...wonder if those would fit on an SC...
probably not, can't seem to find any clear lights (side or rear) for an SC.
(other than $120 side markers which I can't justify)

thanks guys.

but i totally SUCK at any wiring stuff. I can have a bodyshop do it for me when I'm gettin my grill installed.

however, the question is WILL IT LOOK GOOD? It's pretty close to the actual headlight blinker and I don't know if it will look okay.?

Whitediamond, dont go to the Unison site.....go to:
www.lltek.com to check out the bulbs..
I just checked out that site and I cannot believe how EXPENSIVE some of the Audi mods are, aero parts arent so bad, but performance stuff is alot(brakes especially)......Weve got it easier than I thought.....Go check it out!!!!..Tiny

Sorry guys it looks like he beat me in putting the pics up. (I CAN'T FIND MY CAMERA =P ). The ones that I got wasn't an exact fit, I had to use the original light socket for mine since the ones that came with it didn't have exact same plug-in. I also decided to keep the clear bulb with the clear lenses too, I don't really like the orange bulb in the middle of it. Personally I think it makes a big difference, although I am risking getting a ticket (my area isn't that bad, the cops stick to the rice rockets and pretty much leave the luxury cars alone). The original socket doesn't work exactly with the IS3 lights, but it'll hold. Overall, I think it was worth the $49 bucks that I paid.

Note - They're going for like 40 bucks now...

Sorry, I forgot to put that... Yeah, I got it off Ebay and I drive a 1998 GS4. I was a little skeptical since they looked like they were for the IS3 and was flushed for them. (The GS sticks out a bit). But it does work and I haven't had any problems with the plug falling out. It took me like 10 minutes to install, so it's a quick and easy way to make your car look a lot better.

I really liked the clear bulb in there vs. the orange one. Looks so much cleaner and non-ricier.

Default Interesting

Interesting yours did not match 100%. I made sure these were exact, no issues with the socket. Everything, and I mean everything seemed exact except for the "made in Taiwan" on the new one. I wonder if they have two suppliers on this one.
