Be careful of this. Depending on which state you're in, white turn signals may or may not be legal.

One last question, How much do you think getting the kit painted would be?

Hmm i might just keep them yellow then.

from a quality shop, upwards of $500. I'm sure you could find budget shops for like $300-$400. but you usually get what you pay for.

i prefer quality so i'll prob go for a more expensive one. (Not like thats always going to work out though)

My advice. Wheels and tired and a set of nice coil changes the appearance quiet a bit.

Just to spread the words. A massive GB is going for Valenti tail lamps.

the led headlight bulbs? no. if you're going to upgrade the lighting, the better route to go is a hid kit, and the absolute best route to go is a retrofit with a hid kit.

hid kits can put more light on the road, where a retrofit and a hid kit make the best use of all that extra light..

agreed. besides, i think cars with white turn signals are trying too hard for ricerizm hall of fame..

instead, check out these bulbs(beware-- not the exact model you might need)-- i've run them for a while on my last car until i re-did all my lighting, and was very happy with them
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-SilverStar-27-Watt-Performance-Signal/dp/B000AMADZA"]Sylvania 1157A ST BP SilverStar 27-Watt High Performance Signal Light : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame]

they appear a blueish-chrome when off, but illuminate yellow for both parking and turn signal. so they are completely legal to use, and a heck of a lot better than any pnp led bulb, with the exception of vled's v3 triton bulb(i like the bulb, but hate the company)-- it's the only pnp led bulb i'd ever recommend running... but the triton is close to $100/pr, and vleds can't tell anyone an honest shipping date, so purchasing is more of a lottery than an outright sale...
