Turn signal replacement
Hey if this is wrong area please redirect me. thanks.
Smashed turn signal on a wheeling trip a month back and finally got around to replacing it. Ordered some of the clear ones for change from quadratec but when they got here they were ugly as s***. They were chrome on the edges and completly clear so you can see the bulb clear as day through it. I should have looked closer at the picture! I dont want smoked ones where i got the idea of clear ones was a jeep parked here in town. This jeeps were clear but not see through if that makes sense, they had similar transparancy to the front clear parking/turning lights but not so you can see the bulb like the ones that I got. I have a 96' btw.
Anyone know where to find the ones Im talking about. I looked at ebay but didnt see anything.
here is the one i have and dont want http://www.quadratec.com/products/55208_9009.htm

Nice. If I was you, I'd make some kind of shim to stick between the arm and, um, other arm. It would take a lot of stress off of the hinge if you've got heavy tires.

And kind of a "duh" thing, move your license plate to the driver's side of either your hatch or your bumper.
I can't wait to post my own stuff in here instead of throwing out this common knowledge stuff lol. Soon I'll be making my own sub box and a "splash" plate to keep water and mud away from my alternator.
