LED Turn Signals and Clear Side Markers

Good advise Derian06

That would work great with a H2 since the hood opens forward, but probably not as good on his H3.

Do the LED turn signals require installation of resistors for proper operation?

I did amber tint over the clear side markers. I like OEM look with today's technology, not to mention I'm a sucker for amber on red :shifty: When I order my led tails I will probably go with clears and tint red over the for the same effect.

No, they are simply plug and play.

Is the amber tint just a vinyl?

I was thinking earlier this week that I would try and swap the actual lenses but this looks like it could be way easier! (Not even sure if you could swap the lenses, I was going to look into it)

The other thing I was thinking of doing was painting the chrome in the signal light black so it didn't stand out so much

It is just ebay (Knock off) laminx vinyl. Cheap and easy to work with. I think I paid 8$ for enough to do 4 lamps.

I considered painting the inside as well, but you would have to tape up each led perfectly, or really split them apart in depth. Keep in mind these are china made, I had a faulty one in my first batch. While I was waiting for a replacement, I tried baking the housing open to inspect(Ive done many headlights before), and the housing quickly melted and it was nowhere near hot enough to split the glue. I wouldn't recommend baking these.
