'06 Headlight upgrade issue!!! Help
Well I have a ' 04 Touring Roadster and spent the $1,500 for the heads and tails...I have them all installed and I come to find out I have the same problem that everyone has AND I have no blinker action!! WTF
My '04 has Xenons already on it so I thought this would just be a plug and play?? What is the deal? Can someone help my sorry *** out? And what is the deal with the blinker staying solid while the lights are on?
I am freaking out can someone help me?

Is it the actual blinker staying on or is it the park lamp. I have zero issues with mine. I did snip the wire to my park lamps killing the eggyolk look while my lights were on, it looks much better. It sounds like 2 wires are crossed, blinker/park most likely. Good luck.

It is just the blinker staying on...I have not changed any wiring at all just plugged them in...Also is there a way to make the 3 orange led's white??
Should I buy that bulb that stays on white and blinks orange??
Or snip the wires on the bulb? People have said that...

Just pull the amber bulb out then you just snip the inside wire with cutters. The inside wire is farther away from the end of the plastic on one side. That is the one you snip on both side of the bulb...Real simple.
That solves the constant amber problem...

try this:
make sure that when they are cut, all of the wire is gone. it there is a little piece left, it will not fix the problem. use a thin piece of electrical tape if you have to. i used a dab of liquid tape to cover the little wire "tit" that was left cut the wire.
hope this helps
