That's how I did mine. There is a little orange cover over the turn signal light. You can see the turn signal no problem at night.

black housings? like, 1000grit remove the chrome, spray/brush it over with black
change the light to piaa, and thats it?

i saw someone's civic just yesterday who removed the amber, and changed the bulb to oj, can't say it looks bad, but his was a silver body colour.

Yeah just sand the housing part not the reflective looking part, and then just mask of the reflective parts and then spray the rest black. Let dry, and then reseal the light cover to the housing.

Thoughts? Comments?

Quick question, I got some silicon stuck on the outside of my headlight (if you look closely, its on the final image), how to remove?

2nd question, where can i get a replacement front signal bulb in toronto? One of the front signal bulbs apparently died.. judging from the quick "blinking" for that particular side in the dashboard.

I am currently turning my rear amber signals into red.
Will post up pictures of work soon.

I'm planning to add a fuel cutter next.

Who is this guy? ...you give him idea, then shabam! The fuel cut-off switch is a great way to go. Also a removable steering wheel.

I believe they are #1157 bulbs...very common bulbs

lol the headlights took me over 10 hours to complete.. it was bruuutall.. but well worth the effort!!

thanks, but personally, i value safety over theft..

so i think my steering wheel will be stock cause of the airbag...

according to sylvania auto light guide,.... "Front turn signal 3496"

how did you get #1157 from "1997 HONDA Civic (Except hatchback)"?
