On the 03-05 headlights the turn signals are on constantly and it looks horrible. Since the bulbs are dual-filament, one filament on my driver-side turn signal actually broke so it only blinks when I turn on the turning signals or emergency light. Is there any way I can break one of the filaments on he other side too? Or I was thinking about maybe getting on of these (link below) and somehow wire them so that they'll only turn on when I want them to. Does anybody know how to do this? I dremelled out the clear orange in the turn signals so right now I just have the regular light.

Don't break anything, because just in case you have to change it back, you wont be able to. Just get some electric tape and cover the two metal connections on the bulb. Or you can just buy a bulb that has only 1 filament. The stock bulb is dual filament 7443 but you can just buy 7440 and it'll be the same thing.

At NOPI last year I saw a G35 with clear lamps for the turn signals. He modified the housing with a fog light bulb housing! (like the kind you buy at home depot)

Seems like a lot of work though...

You mean like this? I also installed 7440 bulbs, so they only blink.

It is a huge PITA. But, its cheap and well worth it.
