HID turn signals

StubzStang · November 21st, 2010, 07:46 PM

So today I installed some hid headlights on my car (xenon 8000k). I like the look but was wondering if there was a way to change the turn signals from amber to white or blue? has anybody done this?

you won't use HIDs for turn signals...but you can use a whitish blue LED from superbriteleds.com , but i don't know the size

anything you do to a car just about is illegal..if you have HIDs then you might as well brighted the turns up too

LED would be your best way of accomplishing this.

I really wouldn't though, you're going to get pulled over for it. HIDs aren't a big deal and most cops don't care, but turn signals that aren't amber are dangerous and I've known people to get pulled over for it.

The thing is.. tint and headlight laws aren't strictly enforced in most areas. Turn signal color is. Oncoming traffic isn't going to notice a turn signal that's the same color while staring into your HIDs. It's enforced because it's dangerous.

Ultimately it's your choice though.
