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

Just used the can coozys as a guide and cut as far to front and side as I could without cutting the side out of console. You have to go as close to front as possible because there is not much room left for the back one. I think I had to remove the rear air vent underneat. Cant remember if it runs on that side or not. But it didnt work worth the crap anyway. I used a piece of it to block off the hole where the air comes out. I like how the guy earlier did. He cut into the side of console and put a capped stainless steel tube in. It looks really clean. I might try that next. Only I would set it deeper in and figure something out so the drinks wouldnt rattle arount in the tube.

Yeah, when I got my new water pump it did not come with a new inlet pipe so I used the old one and just resealed it to the new pump. Today it junked out on me (got a rust spot with a small hole and was slowly dripping). I know they make new inlet pipes for just under 8 bucks but its not worth all the work to install it when you can simply make and install a brass one in minutes
