this: sucks!

so i was just wondering, is anyone looking into making a full replacement Amber Side Marker/Signal for the 2008+ Lancers / Evolutions / RalliArts ?

transparent paint/vinyl does not look that good, and the oem side markers are stupid because they do not allow you to change the bulb without putting them in the oven…
so, if a vender made a full replacement all amber side marker with the capability of changing the inner wedge bulb with ease, i truly believe a lot of 08+ lancer owners would be interested, especially because it is not a high cost item.
also, not only will they give that ‘jdm’ look, but the ability to change the bulb with ease is very practical and makes sense!

common, someone has to be interested in producing these…please? lol

***i decided to add a poll – fellow 2008 Lancer owners, would you be interested in purchasing all amber side markers for your car? I figure if we get a good amount of people saying yes, it might give some incentive to a vender to look into making them.

cheers

 

Yeeesh. Yeah, those kinda blow.

Come on, vendors --- correct this injustice.

 

New ones would be sweet. Go Razo Go!

 

woooo!
i knew people would be interested in something like this
i really hope a vendor picks up on it!

 

I voted deff a good idea

 

Sidemarkers? Those look like your side turn signal's to me...

Sidemarkers are the one beside your lowbeams.

 

well sorryyyyy lol
99% of people know what i mean…plus the image clarifies it 100%
so, we’re good – but thank you kindly for your concern

 

Yeah its all good. I was just confused when I read the thread title cause I was thinking...Wait aren't our sidemarker lights already amber?

 

paint

 

paint and vinyl only do the job for a short period of time…especially for those who live where it snows…(and it won’t look as good as a real amber lens)
also, painting the oem side signals does not fix the ‘unchangeable’ bulb situation

 

goodd job nick ;D

i've been wanting to change my side markers ever since i saww itt =P

vendors...this is good opportunityy

 

agreed

...and bump

 

You seriously can't change that bulb? Unless it's an LED I have a hard time believing that Mitsu would design it with a permanent bulb, since I can't see a housing manufacturer building it that way.

 

it is a sealed unit, no one I guess has tried baking it. For fear or ruining it and well, yeah kinda stupid to have to buy the whole assembly when a little bulb burns out.

 

i know of two people who opened theirs up on a different forum…i’m not 100% sure but i believe its just a normal 194 bulb with a orange cap overtop of it – they both replaced the oem bulb with an LED – and they both said it wasn’t crazy hard to open up, but at the same time it wasn’t easy because after putting it in the oven for a bit, it felt like it was going to break several times...after they swapped the bulb they resealed it and reinstalled it.
(even the guys who replaced the bulb said they would be interested in an all amber one though )
