George Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Ok, It's not really Amber Delete. I've made my center turn signals appear white/clear by removing the light bulbs and spray painting them with chrome paint. Hold spray can approx 12 in. away and just MIST them. 40-50% coverage seemed to work for me. It may be splatchy, but gives the light bulb a silver color while allowing the amber color to show through when turned on. Quote
Brian P Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Silverstar signal bulbs do almost the same thing too! Quote
Psych0matt Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Silverstar signal bulbs do almost the same thing too! I had some in mine and they looked clear Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 That is pretty sweet. The cutlass lenses are clear, that is just the color of the bulb. I might have to do this now. Could you get a pic at night with the lights on? Thanks Nathan Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I did mine and took a night shot. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 they sell chrome coated ones that light amber. it won't be too long before that spray paint burns off amber LEDs will also solve the problem Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 they sell chrome coated ones that light amber. it won't be too long before that spray paint burns off I used engine paint,so that should handle a light bulb. Quote
George Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Posted February 1, 2010 Here is a photo of mine at night. I checked around but could not find Siverstars. I bought my car Oct. 10, 2009. I drive approx. 1 1/2 hrs. a day in the dark, Mon-Fri,so far they have held up ok. I will have to remove the bulbs and see how they are doing. Quote
jrcuttymann Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Here is my 94 CS with Silverstar turn signals Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 now all you guys gotta do is something about the amber corner markers Quote
94 olds vert Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 now all you guys gotta do is something about the amber corner markers x2 I blacked them out, and I didn't like it. I want to make some clear ones, that would make it very cool. Quote
Sagitarii Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 I tried the clear ones .. they look weak when on .. I bought some blue tinted ones .. they almost match my fogs. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 Props for cheapness! For the corners, you could always try a silver spray paint. I tried silver spray paint on the rear sidemarkers of my 89 Cutlass, and the light shines right through them. The paint I used was a silver wheel paint. I discovered it was translucent by accident, a piece of plexiglass was on the newspaper when I was painting something, and when I picked it up I realized light could easily pass through it. Quote
George Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 they sell chrome coated ones that light amber. it won't be too long before that spray paint burns off amber LEDs will also solve the problem I pulled my light bulbs out the other day and sure enough, the paint was flaking off a bit, so I redid them with Engine paint. I will check them in a Month and see how they do. I thought I had some silver Header paint, I will have to try that next if this doesn't hold up. Quote
douellette Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 I tried the clear ones .. they look weak when on .. I bought some blue tinted ones .. they almost match my fogs. you found some clear corners for a 2 dr cutty??? Quote
Sagitarii Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 no sorry. the center turn signals .. i bought those blue "ion" bulbs they look better when on than the white or amber bulbs i bought some led array bulbs for my fogs .. they suck !! Quote
