What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Just put money down for a relentless front bumper...the wait is gonna kill me!

 

ha..i should probably wash mine..

long long wait haha will be cool tho!

 

Still cant get that mud off of it from way back??

 

Well..since i have a new body its all gone..but..still everywhere else..and new mud from this last month of wheel...and a SHIT ton of dust..

 

Ooops.. forgot about your body swap. You should wax everything and then throw some armoral on the tires to spice it up

 

haha not worth it. So many scratches on this body..ill just rinse it off and use some tire cleaner.

 

Just swapped out my turn signals for clears. With the amber bulbs behind the lenses they still appear to be colored, but much more subdued than stock. I kind of like the hybrid/clear look but am wondering if I should get LED replacement bulbs to give it that totally clear look.

What's your opinion?

Here's before/stock:




Here's after with the amber bulbs installed:



Close up of the hybrid amber/clear look



Close up of the clear look (bulb removed)



And a picture that tries to show both (passenger side bulb removed)




What should I do?!!

 

i would get the clear bulbs or white led, thats what i did and i think it looks better, my whole front is white now, white turn sig, and clear corners, it may be illegal (i have no idea) but i havent been bothered by cops yet

 

I left my amber bulb in, so it looks more legal...
amber blinkers are required by law

 

It's totally legal to have clear lenses that blink amber

Out of pure complacency I will probably leave the amber bulbs in. One day I'll get a bug up my butt to order the clear LED lights that blink amber. I do like the look of the cleared out front.

Next up, installing my clear corners.

 

Yes its illegal..

you either need an amber housing with a white bulb or amber bumper with clear housing.

but hell if your not getting in trouble then who cares. I doubt any cop would stop you for that.


i like the hybrid look actually. Id get an LED amber bulb for it.

 

I vote for amber bulb until you can get clear led that blink amber. And nice job on the front plate, by the way

 

I was thinking about option #3:

If I put that behind my clear lens, it should blink amber, correct?

I also think it should not give that hybrid amber/clear look, right?

 

yes it'll flash amber but still look clear.

i like the hybrid ones tho..

 

Welcome to my OCD

 

Like I said I'll be lazy about it since it works and it's legal.

So maybe it'll grow on me

Or maybe when you come down to Colorado and do the blinker relocation mod for me, I'll get around to doing something about it

 

haha i made a set for your year..was a pain to do. lol but not too bad.

 

as long as it blinks amber
FWIW I'm looking into amber LED's as well

or those bulbs that are colorless until the filament inside lights up
