Euro cleared turn signals > clearing signals

I had a rock crack in one of my turn signals so instead of getting an OEM set and clearing them again I got some "Euro" clears off ebay and they are so much better. The Euro clears still have the reflector/diffuser except it's clear so when you place an orange bulb behind it you can hardly see it. It also illuminates the entire signal whereas the cleared ones looked like just a bulb blinking.

Procarparts is a good seller.
I have bought several things from that person.

However...I hate how I have to pay the stupid CA sales tax...plus shipping.
That's why I don't buy from Procarparts that often, unless he is the only person selling that particular item

I cleared mine out and they look really good, they dont look like a blub blinking. they look like the whole signal blinks. I can try to post a video or pictures sometime soon.

you can always spray a light coat of silver paint to disguise the amber bulb in the clears

To me it's much more noticable at night and for the silver paint I've done that and it does work. I just like the euro ones for the clear diffuser/reflector.

For some reasons, I think the piece that most people take out in the front/rear turn signals do something to the lights. I believe they somehow diffuse the light better, hence it looks brighter and more even at nights.

My tails are cleared and the orange bulb just doesn't blink as bright as my friends car...

What's the difference and the prices there are more then I paid so why bother?


As for the reflector/diffuser its' there to spread the light through the entire signal not just emit it from the bulb like clearing the factory does. It's not a huge deal but to me the euro clears look right and clearing the factory lamps look like somethings wrong with them.
