I've been noticing in Sport Compact Car and the ads in the mag, many of the "cleaner" rides are going back to using amber turn signals. Anyone else notice this? Now they are selling "JDM" ambers. WTF is the difference between a JDM amber turn signal and a US-spec turn signal?

Do you modd your car for yourself or do you modd it to follow trends?

 

 

very true statement

 

good question!

Ant

 

Read my post again. Did I say I mod my car to follow trends? Take a quick look at my homepage and tell me is you see anything "trendy".

*lol* don't knock trends, because that's how the clears came about in the first place. What does it say when Kia's have clears?

Anyway, keep youz eyes on the Carerra, that will tell you what the trend may be.

 

So what you're saying is that my car is coming back in style and I didn't spend a dime

 

hot damn!

 

DAMNIT I JUST GOT MY CLEARS ...hehe amixam is right though, to each his own.

Damn, now i want amber corners.....

I need a Maxima first.

 

Good idea, go with the trends, don't put clear corners on your car "because you like them", do it because it's cool What a crock of BS.. Enjoy your orange lights.

 

I/ve been noticing that on even stock vehicles, the amber safety reflector is now getting more stylish and integrated with design. i.e., the 99-2001 Civics, they had the teeny tiny reflectors in the headlights. I also like the Volkswagon headlights. Even the 2002 Maxima's look pretty good. No more are the huge big blocky orange lights like the 4 gen max.

 

JDM corners are a darker yellow/almost orange color. USDM corners are a more see through yellow plastic.

 

Amber corners reunite! *check out my sig...*

 

yay for amber!...no, not really...i really wish i had the money for some clears...now that would be nice

 

woohoo I can start entering my cars to shows soon since I have amber lights.

 

Hey, if there's anybody willing to, i will trade my ambers for a set of diamond cut clears

 

Sweet I guess im in luck!!! I dint have to spend any money. Take Care

 

You know what they say, "Keep anything long enough and eventually it will come back into style."
Joke: You know how to tell when you're getting old?...When your ties are all different widths.
I guess you can also tell by how many sets of certain car parts you have lying around the garage.

 

the only way they are a trend is bc these honda guys think that the japanese parts are "so much better" than the ones on american versions, it makes them feel like their car is expensive and has "exotic" parts, its nothing special, jdm does have some parts they put on their cars that may be superior to the US, but light housings? give me a break...

 

I have my orange back on cause clears got robbed and clears are NOT coming back.

 

I don't give a **** what the trend is. All it means is that the current trend is in poor taste (example: SUV's)

Orange/Amber is FUGLY.

 

I never liked amber...on taillamps, turnsignals, etc. Too many colors going on. When cars started coming with clear housings with orange bulbs stock they looked good...orange is ugly.

 

Are you saying that clears serve a funtional benefit? Maybe, because they are standard fare on Kia Sephias. But as far as I'm concerned they're pure styling. Just like the spoiler on the Maxima, it's like a spleen. Really serves no purpose but looks. I'd be willing to bet it's not there on the next generation SE because it's definitely out of style as well.

Really there's nothing wrong with observing trends and then deciding if you like them or not. I like the low rider jeans that girls wear nowadays, that was not fashionable more than 2 years ago. I didn't like the long men's overcoats which are so out of style now. But keep it in the closet it will be back in about 8 years.

 

Since most new cars now have clear turn signals the ricers must want the orange ones to be different. Personally I think the clear tails and bumper lights make the 4th Gen look a little more modern.
