clear s-13 lights?

[180maniac]

hey i was wondering if anybody knew if you could get the triple projector s-13 headlights that are clear at the edge instead of having that orange piece. i think i saw them once on the internet but i don't remember where. i would really like clear ones but i guess if they don't have them i would just get the regular ones. i would be happy either way, thanks :help

The silvia lights have the yellow side marker...its pretty easy to get rid of, but you have to take the lights apart:(.

Just wondering....

Am i the only one who likes amber in car lighting? I never understood why all this "clear cornering" was so appealing.

[yeswepromise]

^^^i'm with you.

Good call, wings. Factory signals work just fine.

Anybody ever wonder why lighting and signals are such hot topics for discussion?? Perhaps all performance mods are already completed...?

Either way, 180maniac, there's a fella goes by TheMadScientist selling lights from his place there in Japan. Search in the buy/sell section for his posts... if I remember, his price was OK....and always better than throwing money away on ebay...

Agreed. I don't know where the clear corners thing started.

In my opinion, the yellow, orange, and red lights that come on all cars look very tacky . . kind of like a UNDER CONSTRUCTION sign or something. I would go with clear lights and some nice blue bulbs.

They're side markers...side markers! They are SUPPOSED to stand out. Like as in CAUTION BEOTCH I'M RIGHT HERE!

I would never ever put the amber turn signals back on my TA. It completely compliments the look of her.

I agree that some colours on cars jsut don't sit well with clear corners, I *hate* altezza taillights more than anything.

Zero.. You being right there... doesn't help our reps.. LoL Does anyone really know the reason for having amber up front and red in back..?? I know just curious if anyone else knows why

[MainEvent212]

because in the dark, when you see red, you know you're ont he right side of the road...

and when you see white/amber you know your on the left/wrong side of the road...

lol thas my best guess

Gunna have to with our brake lights are red. Red means stop. We slow down when we brake and don't want people behind us to hit us so our red brake lights light up to warn them. Our turn signals on both the front and rear of the car are amber and normally denote some directional change. To sum things up - amber means "Watch the f*** out." Red means "Back the f*** off."

[Thee 240sx Owner]

Actually your close.. and this is gonns sound stupid Its to determine from a side view which is the fron end of a car.. and which is the back end of a car... This goes for semi's and everything tooo...

[Thee 240sx Owner]

Its actually illegal to change the color of the light bulb.. The lens is fine.. but your suppose to keep amber in front and red in back no matter what... Depends on what prick cop you have that tells you this.. But its written in black and white.. for all states..

[[Zero-S]]

Yup...thats one of the first things I read in the little DMV handbook we got. And actually, to be DOT approved, sidemarkers must reflect amber.

[180maniac]

hey thanks guys oh and lbrowne i agree with you i can't stand altezza tailights. oh and i don't not like the amber it looks great the way it is i was just looking for something a little different because i don't see too many sil-80's with the clear side markers. i will have to check out the madscientist and see what his look like.

[Thee 240sx Owner]

My side markers are clear.. Look at my sig.. Unless you mean the turns sigs which those are gonna be clear also
