Default Question about lights

Hey guys i want to change out orange blinker lights to blue.. do u know if this can be done? And do u have to take off the whole wheel and such to install them. Also i bought some xenons online but after i figured out that you have to take off whole wheel and all this other stuff to get them on. Is there any other way to do this?

Blue? Why? That's illegal.


If you want to rice out your car... buy a Honda

As mentioned blue is illegal but you can change it (assuming you mean fronts) by turning your wheels all the way and partially removing the wheel well splash guard and reaching your hand up in there (its a bit tough but very possible). You'll have the turn the wheels to the other side when doing it.

Try jacking up that side too to get some more room (use jackstands for safety)

I wouldnt call it rice, but illegal yes. Again, remove the inner fenders. The blue bulb can be found at your local advance auto parts store for about 4 bucks.

The inner fender piece they are talking about is the front half of the fender lining. You have to turn the wheel so you can get your hand up in there after pulling the fender liner back and turn the bulb connector about a 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull it out of the headlamp housing.

Then just snap the bulb out. I had trouble finding a replacement bulb at the local parts stores but found a set on ebay. These were not blue but chrome covered. They still blink amber. Blue lights can get you a ticket...
