Cut off one of the pins and put it in so the brighter side is always on. I have orange ones and it looks sick as hell, especially at night.

95 & 96 models have corner lights that get bright when the turn signal is on. When the turn signal is on the light on the appropriate side gets bright to light up the direction you are turning in.

If I were you, I would replace the ugly stock one with amber bulbs, looks so much better!

I had white and amber. I never liked amber before but I changed them just to see and now I think the amber actualy looks better.

The white is more ricey whereas the amber is classy.
