LuminaPower92 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Hey what's up - I'm having a hard time finding sidemarker bulb 24 for the 90-94 Lumina in amber. Im thinking of getting clear sidemarkers but dont want to get them without knowing i have the bulbs. any help would be great brian Quote
Euro Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 they're all over walmarts/autozones here in IL...but i have clear bulbs now and they're not too bad it'd be nice if there were some xenon ones or something like that Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Pep Boys has them too, amber ones are p/n 24NA. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 I took the amber lens out and tooke out the old bulb and drilled a new hole into the dome part of the blinker and was able to put in hyper white 194 bulbs with new connector....and I think the look great I can take a pic if you'd like but it'll be from my phone...

GnatGoSplat Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 Front blinkers that blink any other color than amber are illegal, as they very well should be. Quote
Euro Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 meh....mine are bright enough, so i dont see a problem Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 Looks trashy, I only see ricers and beat up junkers with white (or blue, green, red, etc) bulbs where an amber should be. Besides, US lighting standards are piss poor enough without people making them worse. People who do that kind of crap deserve to get hassled by cops. Quote
GP1138 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 I hate it when I see any car with GREEN turn signals/marker lights. How anyone thinks that's a good idea/aesthetically pleasing is beyond me. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 in Kansas where I live I can have white infront and I think they look great so fuck you all that want to bash me for doing something you can't or are to lazy to do... I was just giving another option.... Quote

I was just giving another option.... Expressing an opinion is not bashing. On the other hand, saying "fuck you all" is bashing. If you can't conduct yourself maturely, then leave. I hate ALL non-amber turn signals, and that includes the factory red stop/tail/turn combo lamps that are legal in the US. European lighting laws are FAR superior to US laws, and there's a reason they allow only amber turn signals with no exceptions. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 do i look like i live in europe? nope sure don't but i do live in the land of oz where the bright fucking white bulb that is blinking is more noticable than a ugly amber bulb... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Did I say you live in Europe? Nope, sure didn't, but I'm smart enough to recognize that their lighting laws are better. Amber lights for turn signals only means there is no mistaking someone tapping their brakes for a signal, emergency lights, police wigwag lights, or anything other than signal lights. I don't care what you do to your car, do whatever you want. I'll just continue to think it's a stupid juvenile ricey kid thing. Quote
1990lumina Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 I agree Shawn. I don't have a problem with clear lenses, but the light part still should be the same color as it was before, in this case, amber. However, I don't have a rpoblem with people using xenon, HIDs, etc as a headlight. I've driven cars with piss poor lighting at night (my friend's Cavalier for example), and I hate it. The lights in my Lumina are far suerior, and they are only halogen lol... Anyway, I say still with amber lights where they should be, and red lights where they should be, and etc... Quote
Euro Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 damn......well just for the record...my turn signals are ALLL white!!! ahahaha! ones between the grille are xenons and the corners are clear all i say is whoopdey freaking do about the color of the turn signals Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 all i say is whoopdey freaking do about the color of the turn signals LMFAO Quote
Euro Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 and to think...i spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out if i spelled "whoopdey" right not like theres a correct spelling to it anyways Quote

I know, I asked for second, third, and even fourth opinion on how to twist and remove my turn signal bulbs, especially with all the energy I exerted in the all-of-2-minute process. Way out of my league. I'm sure you'll be preaching to the choir about how great your clear turn signals are when you get smashed head-on by some "asshole" who couldn't figure out that the bright white bulbs on the front of your car were actually turn signals. You gave your opinion, now here's mine. It looks tacky, it's stupid, and it's yet another dumbassed thing to do to make your car even less visible (thanks to how poor the US lighting laws are). I'll take manditory amber turn signals any day.. at least I know which way people are actually going. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 hey if you cant figure out which way a car is going maybe we need to get more sea like laws and have a diferent color for starboard and portside....what do you think about that..... I know you don't like white bulbs I think your being racist....but I was just giving him an alternative to the plain boring ass bulbs that you still have in your ride.... and it would take you more than all of two minutes if you had to drill a new hole make sure their even and wire a new harness in.....It took all of like ten minutes....and their brighter then the pos bulbs that came in my lumina before so :flip: Quote

People are just expressing their opinions. If you're not mature enough to handle it I'm sure you'll have no problem handling the courthouse. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 when people criticize what I do to my car they can kiss my ass....All I did at the beginning was explain what I did to give the guy another alternative...then certain people dogged on my car so I'm just defending myself so you can threaten me with the courthouse all you want it wouldn't be the end of my life......... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 No one was criticizing you personally, do you get equally as riled up and defensive when people say they don't like your favorite food? In the real world, people don't agree with each other. That's life. Get over it and grow a backbone for crap sake. Quote
SilverZ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 no in the real world people don't criticize someones ride they respectfully keep their f-ing mouth shut if they don't like it....They don't get rude and talk shit.... Quote
Euro Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 he's married...has his own house...4 cars... do you think he's 18? Quote
