the lack of pictures doesnt make it worthless. the idea is simple to imagine, the front half of the corners are clear, and the back half is orange. this is to remain legal with an orange corner marker on the front of the car.

Not everyone has the same taste.
Maybe to make the car look like this one.

Nope, that's the main problem I'm having with them...in daylight sometimes people don't even see that I'm signaling bc the lense is not spreading the light out enough. =/

I dunno...in daylight it can be hard for the bulb to spread the light out enough, but at night its fine.

i think it looks fine, and its legal. i dont like how bright clear corners are...the pure white lens doesn't blend with the car, especially my black paint. thats why i got the hyperblacks, a little darker, not that blue look everyone seems to like now

hah thanks...damage on my car is fine, just a cracked corner light and no paint on a 2 square inch spot...but the miata is worse off.

I was trying to make a right turn and he was in front, light turns green I see his car start to turn so I get ready to turn and move, he stops all of a sudden bc he thinks its red and I was looking the other direction as I'm checking traffic to make sure no cars are coming my way. I was an idiot for not paying attention to the car in front and he was an idiot for stopping for no reason. =/

ive done something similar while follow a friend somewhere =/ the coast was clear for a right, and she started to go, then thought she saw someone and stopped suddenly, while i was turning to the left to see if it was still clear. just a little love tap, and no damage to either car. hope u settle with no/minimal insurance involement, they usually hose you.

sorry to hear about the accident. hopefully u dont get f_cked by the insurence company. but i like the light to match. the "blue" look is nice but the orange is to annoying for me. i want to try sumthing to all the lights so they match maybe opening up the rears, sides, and bumper lenses, and tinting them. then throwing a color that is legal maybe LED? not sure alot of time and attempts would have to done to get it just right.. any ideas?
