You know those bumper turn signals at the bottom of the bumper, well if you open that up and look real closely there are reflector-like plastic on the actual cover. All you have to do is look for a little crease or gap in between the reflector and the cover itself (usually near where the screw goes in). Basically just pull it out with a flathead screwdriver and clean up the front cover with that headlight fader cleaner. And WA-LA you you have some clear bumper turn signals. I put some blue bulbs in there cause I thought it would look cool at night. But yeah its a freebie mod. I dont know if anyone on here discovered that yet or not.

No lights at all might look hella great as well, and be an equally unsafe and juvenile mod.

In this state, blue bulbs are illegal. I think it would be cool just to clear the signal and use yellow bulbs.

You'll probably get a ticket for those blinking blue lights.

I'm pretty sure blue is illegal everywhere... it's reserved for the police.

I took out the diffusor piece so I could clean behind there. Moisture had gotten in there and caused mold to form.

I put them back, though, because I realize that they are there to diffuse the light and make it more visible from other angles.

Personally, though, I hate having the turn signals that low anyway. People can't see them from the sides, so I was gonna wire up extra bulbs in the corner lamps and put fog lights where the turn signals are now.
