Just shaved my bulb knobs
Just shaved my bulb *****
Took me like 10 mins to do. Wanted people who havent done this to know that you don't have to go through the pain of removing the sidemarker. The bulbs are fairly accesible. Also the bulb stays in the socket perfectly unlike I remember some people saying.
I just did this yesturday!
Got some Xenon superwhites from the local rip off performance shop and filed the top **** down on the 1157 bulb the put it in backwards.. so much brighter! They are whiter then my headlights, lol... i need some decent headlight bulbs.
The right bulb is fairly easy to get to... but the ****ing left one is a pain!!!! I scratched myself all up trying to reach in there with 2 fingers and twist it! Combined with cold weather and it being dark outside, u couldn't do it in any better conditions
really though, it's worth it!

Took me lets see less than 1 minute to do it with a rotary tool from craftsmam same as dremel. I also did it to the yellow rear lights since I cleared them out. They werent bright enough in yellow. Now they are. Easiest mod ever and is great for the front. Except one of the sides is a paing to get into.

You know some light bulbs on the side one nipple is higher than the other? well if you shave the nipple thats higher and install them backwards your corner lights next to your headligst will be brighter thats what we are talking about. I also did it to the yellow bulbs for the rears those were the only bulbs they had and they werent bright enough as well now they are..

Does this work on a '95?
I've always wondered if this mod would work on a '95...just shave off the nipple and flip it, right? I would love to have bright clearance lights all the time, instead of just when i'm turning. Does anybody know if this gets too hot, maybe it's bad for the wiring harness or something? Thanks!
Peace
Peace
now that i think about it, i got bored earlier today and i made a little webpage, go to it and check it out, i've got a few pics of the lights. www.trevorsmax.freeservers.com
