blaze....
those lights would not fit in there unless u really want to retrofit it which would be a pain... just use the same type of bulb that in there already.. i swapped mine for yellow ones to match my car instead of the stock amber ones....
as far as headlight color.. the cop that pulled me over one time for having yellow headlights said that you are only allowed to have WHITE.... as far as signals... amber is the legal color.. although nobody would really pull u over for having yellow ones like i do.. the yellow ones i have are pia bulbs and they are blinding haha....but i've never gotten hassled for them....
as for the write up... its really simple... all i did was cut the positive wire from the signal lights and tapped them to a 12v source.. in this case.. i just ran a wire to my cigarette lighter 12v source and placed a switch inbetween to turn them on and off when i want to so they're not always on... If u want just PM me and i'll show u how to do it....
There's a simple way to keep them on and blink for signals but u'll need a relay...

just shove it thru haha....
like i said.. theres no bulb that size that will fit through properly in a headlight size ( to my knowledge at least or else it wold have been done).... ur just gonna have to take ur light out and widen the hole and retrofit it.

I am sure this can be done w/ out a switch, depending on power distribution to the lights... dont want to blow em when the lights are turned on. Ill have to try this one out. Please post a link to a write up w/ picks! or PM me w/ some instructions :-)

Not to hijack your thread, just letting the '+04 guys know this is possible and kind of easy. I'll put up a how to with some illustrations and pictures. Thanks again for the awesome idea! I've been wondering if that would work for so long because I love the Is's lights.
The first one is lame with lights on and flash. The second is just running lights. The long side reflector is the turn signal now and it works. The only downside is the new bodies have the stupid lenses over the turn signal hole so they need to be removed. I'll do that when it gets warm.

sorry to dig up and old thread, but I searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, and searched, but couldn't find the answer I was looking for...
I too have switched the font turns into daytime running lights, and the side markers into the blinking turn signals...
end result, rapid flash aka ricer flash...
looking to fix this, but can't find a turn signal relay for the 02 Lancer ES...
can anybody shed some more light on this subject?... thanks in advance
