    My friend told me it was under the adjustable seat but I couldn't find it to save my life. Thanks!

    Yep. Been using 2nd gen blinker fluid for the last 30,000 miles. Fluid looks clear with no discoloration or varnishing:

    Aren't you supposed to change over the blinker fluid when you rotate the muffler bearings, and reset the kinnibling pins on the middle control arms?
    I was also told that was the proper time to rotate the air in your tires.
    I hope I wasn't led astray by the stealership...

    It's not hard just add some synthetic blinker fluid with some antifreeze and you are good to go.

    I ran out on a road trip last week and just peed into the lens area. Other than a slight yellow tint all is working fine.

    Blinker fluid is hygroscopic like brake fluid - your's looks contaminated, some condensation in the upper lens.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    This only happens if you're not running nitrogen.

    Man I used a hydrophilic blinker fluid and it just mixed right in there with the condensation. Now I don't know if I have too much or not enough fluid for my blinkers to properly function. Someone help me out.
