I have the DTM tails and i got pulled over because a cop said i did not signal but i really did its just that he could not tell because during the day i guess u cant see just the bulb blinking. I thought it was just the cop being a ***** but this morning when my dad was following me he also complained that i did not signal when i changed lanes. So with that said i was wondering what i could do to make it easier to see the bulb? Are there stronger aftermarket amber bulbs? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

 

Doesn't the DTM mod invlove removing or painting the reflector (and/or the lens)?

If so, that's your problem.

 

yes u can pick up a set of polarg's hyper amber they are bright. You have to remeber one thing when doing that mod you are painting your reflector this takes away alot of the illumination from the tail thats why its harder for people to see it during the day get some polargs pop them and you shouldn't have a problem with visibily of your taillights

 

thanks lights out ill go do that

 

they are like 20 a pair i believe not that bad sure beats getting a ticket everytime

 

where can you get these? out of curiosity

In the DTM mod you don't paint the reflector, you paint the housing behind the lense then completely remove the reflector so the only visible light is coming directly from the bulb. I put amber bulbs in my turn signals after I did the mod because the stock clear ones weren't very obvious. The ambers are better but my Mom also told me that they didn't look too obvious...I might have to look for brighter ones. I hope they sell those Polargs in Canada.

 

ok im doing the dtm mod this weekend, and when you paint the housing black behind the reflectors you then leave the white and orange reflectors out right?

 

Yeah, you leave the white & orange reflectors out..People said they can tell im switching lanes, but just to stay away from ticket, I might have to get them polargs. But I have had cop stop me for ticket, and he said nothing about my turn signals, saw them clearly..

 

hmmm thanks, thats good last thing i want is someone to rearend me when im turning becuase they dont see turn signal. people make up bs like that
