Mike, did you order the "Philips Silvervision"? Those are the best ones, other bulbs can't compare... Believe me, those Japanese, Taiwanese or whereever can't compare to the Philips Silvervision...

Hey those are the ones I got.... I just put the clear corners on.. It was a breeze... You know learning from everyones mistakes makes it a snap... Altogether it took me like 25 min. And since I thought I would be out there for at least an hour, I went and took off one of the mudgaurds to see if it would be hard and to get to those rear corners would be easy too...
Then I took out the one of the rear lights to see the blinker bulb. Easy too, 2 screws and pull, and it's off.....
Hendry, About those front blinkers... Would you know anything about getting that yellow shell around the bulb?? The rear doesn't have it, it's just a yellow bulb, but the front does...

Mike, you're right! I have already changed the rear blinkers to Silvervision bulbs, they are awesome...
As for the front blinkers, the only way I can think of "eliminating" the yellow plastic shell is by "cracking" them... So we'll need to remove the headlamp housings, remove the blinker bulbs, then crack the yellow plastic shell... Slowly crack it all clean (so no more yellow bits and pieces... then either slowly remove the plastic pieces or just shake the housing upside-down...
I've done this before on my older foglights for GS300, it had the yellow cover in the foglights too...

Hendry, I figured that.... I was thinking maybe it was removable... See being that I have that front brushgaurd on it would be a pain in the a$$. I would have to take it off and put it back again..... That's not happening..... Maybe break it and stick a vaccum in there?? I don't know..... Oh and another thing.. I also bought those Phillips Blue Vision bulbs for the High's and the Fog's..... Would you know how they look by any chance??

Mike, I have no idea about the Philips Blue vision... my guess is they would be nice too... I know that some Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese blue bulbs may not last long... like PIAA, Polarg, Nokya, etc... I've heard many people having to replace the bulbs within 6 months or 1 year...
Since you already have the front guards on, yeah... it would be a pain having to remove that... Hmm...
well, when you say "break" it, how can you break it without having to remove the headlamp housing, though? the space is very tight... then I'd assume when you break it, there'll be some "bigger pieces" that you'd need to "break into smaller pieces" so you can vacumn them all out, right?
ck...ck...ck... tough... tough...

I was figuring maybe putting a leather glove on and go though the hole where the light is placed and break it with my finger... Chip all of the yellow away then stick the vaccum hose to it.. I don't know if it would work, just thinking of things that could get the yellow out of there without me taking the whole headlight unit out....

I also have thought about taking out the orange shell. I already have the clear sides installed put in superwhite bulbs, and the upper corner bulbs changed to blue. And my Lows and Highs changed to superwhite. I hate the turn signal shell.
HOW much are the blue foglights? what are the price ranges of them??? and how hard are they to install.

Spinteews,
Are you ordering your HIDs from Autolamps-online? They require us to fax back agreement, I did that too... Well, from your fax, dial (011-country code- number) for example for autolamps-online's fax: 011 44 1244 881988.
