lol...what do you wanna do, make them only run with as turn signals and remain off with the headlights. Im not sure of the legality, but i did it. Just cut the middle wire.
I figured since i just have prescription medicine pill vials over the bulbs behind my hofelle to make the bulbs amber, it was illegal enough, why not just cut a wire and make them only work as turns?:lol:

lol...it works, i painted the entire bottle black except the end, so its just a small circle, you have to like stick your eye on the grill to see it lol, but it lights up pretty well. I might be uploading some pics later....looks like i got ripped off $400 by that ****** with the seats because paypal only refunded $175 of it...Wont be doing the wheels for quite a while now because i was selling my seats to my friends dad to pay for a lot of the price of the corbeaus, but cant sell them without something else to put in.

Now boys... you're not taking Lifeguardjoe's thread off-topic are you?!?03BlackZX3 said:
Lifeguard, do you want to put the old bulbs in your new grille? What do you mean by "disable the front turn signals?" (I think that's what's bugging Silfox...)

If what he wants is to just disable them from coming on with the headlights, he just needs to cut the middle wire....If he wants to take them out completely, im not sure how that works...

I have the pill bottle as well. Got them for free at my local WalMart Pharmacy. They fit pretty good. Slide them over the end of the bulb, and then I used elec. tape to hold the two parts together. Then tie wrap down. This was supposed to be a temporary fix, but I just forgot about it, so I left it on. I even uploaded some pics of what mine looks like.

yeah i turned mine the other way, so the round part is facing forward, and painted the rest black, so its just the little circle lighting up. Same concept tho. My dad is the regional manager of a pharmacy chain up here, so i just walked in and grabbed some.
If anyone else needs any, ill get you some, just pay like $2 for the vials and packing and then whatever the shipping cost is. PM me

I already have turn signals in my headlights via Machalikes. I have them tapped into my side turn signals. I want to disable the front ones that were in my grill because I fabbed up myself a new grill.
Sooo cut the middle wire? Eh?

Well the bulb will still light up with the turn signal....All i can say is to cut the wires completely and individually wire the turn signal in the mach alike to them, instead of the turns in the bumper.

good guy, yup cut all of them, remove the harness, and remove the wires from the loom and re-wire them closely to your machalikes!

Looks good. Reminds me of a Hofele. But I'll withhold all judgement untill we get full car shots in the daylight.

That looks nothing like my hofelle, not even close. The mesh in my hofelle is like 10x thicker than that and the weave in the mesh is larger. That reminds me more of a really transpartent euro without an emblem. Is that plastic gutter guard? I noticed its kinda wavy, and its really fine mesh....try doubling it up or something....
