Lighting mods for the 5th gen.... something new
Alright it may not be anything new, cause to make a long story short I'm an idiot. I did a search to see if there was an easy way for the brighter part of the 1157's up front to be on while the lights are on. Found some posts that indicated that you could shave off the upper nub on the the 1157's and install them backwards..... made sense to me so I tried it. The problem is with it set up like that all of the lights come on at the same time, meaning my blinkers no longer flash and my rear blinkers are always on as well...... I feel...... ghetto. So basically my fronts are bright but my blinkers no longer work and My rear hazard blinkers...... stay on constantly as well.
Oh and another thing...... the 1157's up front are stuck in their sockets. First any idea how to get the damn things out without dremmelling them to oblivion then taking the shards out? Also any way you can suggest that would allow me to keep the front blinkers on the bright setting while still retaining the ability for the blinkers to work...... I know I'm a moron but....... I had to try it. Besides I figure it'd be good for a laugh or two. I'm gonna have to do something about it tomorrow before it gets dark..... wish me luck.... I don't need to get pulled over by the po-po.
Oh yeah..... I'm engaged, gettin hitched June 8th. (no jokes about letting people like me breed alright.)
