    Well 4 hours later, 1 Wild hockey game watched, and 2 silver/amber bulbs = a cheap and sweet looking mod. Took some patience but once I found the correct tool for the job it was just a matter of human vs. plastic.

    Bulbs work great, not as bright as a regular bulb would be but plenty bright day or night to be plenty visible.

    Now to get my new grill put on and do away with the oem piece.

    Thanks for all the help from my earlier post on this subject. "Ship in a bottle" method won over baking for me.

    Not sure I get what ya mean by "rice"? You refering to the way my headlights look? My stock headlights with the ugly orange plastic dome removed? That makes them rice? Either way cheap and easy mod for me, sweet.

    Orange

    Thanks for all the comments.

    As for the rice remark, I didn't think anyone even noticed the sidemarkers. To each his/her own.

    Yup, orange they blink. Wish they were brighter in the daytime but they're still noticable if you're paying attention. They also have "chrome domes" which are just tiped with the chrome and they're supposed to be %40 brighter. Here's where I got them-http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm
    1156(7507 euro part #) is the part # you'd want for the front blinker. I got 2 sets hopeing to put a couple in back too but they don't fit so must be a different part # for those. I'll attach a pic of how they look at night.

    Wild sucked it up last night, not fun to watch.

    We don't care about your opinions. We care about the fact that your stupidity is taking up our bandwidth and making us dumber as well. Why are you even here? You have yet to contribute anything useful, meaningful or that isn't some cheapshot at another member. The reason Nathan doesn't make much sense to you is because you lack reading comprehension. How about doing one of three things for us? Either stop being a troll and actually contribute in a meaningful way, continue to be a troll (although for not much longer, I've still got money on you being banned within the week) or just leave, as you're not really proving to be much worth to anyone.

    the point of it not being readable is to illustrate just about every word you have types... STOOOOOPID... we dont care about your opinions or even for your opinions..

    people dont have to like the mods others do but if all you have to say is something lame and rude and negative just dont type... but you can say things like I dont really like it blah blah.... cause realistically who cares if you do or dont like it... the person who does the mod has to live with their decisions...

    If you want to discuss sentence structure and correct english... lets go for it.. being an Australian form Australia a country founded by the people who started ENGRISH you know the country.. ding ding ding we have a weaner... ENGLAND... I think we know how to correctly pronounce and spell and speak the language and yes I have mistyped in this posting on purpose.. after all when in Rome do as the romans.. or should I say when in the US do as the Seppos do... butcher the English language :)

    Angusricer (mispelt for a joke) maybe if you look at like 18 of your 25 posts so far have been dribble and havent offered anything valuable then maybe you will see why people couldnt give a damn to see or listen to your posts...

    alright dude... but i have met most of you and no i don't like hanging out with you or joking with you... i primarily am on here to buy and sell stuff... my life does not revolve around this board(such as your) when i'm on here i see very childish behavior and bad mods that are supported by everyone cuz you're all friends and are affraid to lose your only means of social interaction... i on the other hand have no personal ties and say exactly how i feel... please stop treating me like a noob because of my posts because on the old site i did my best to be supportive and helpful... on that note i will retire to my life outside of this club... see you at the drive-in next thursday ;)

    So Matt, since I've met you and talked to you personally, why the sudden personality change on this site? Different s/n, different personality? You weren't like this before, so I have to ask what changed. You're acting like a noob, and a tool to boot. If other people want to change something on their car, who are you to step in and criticize? There is nothing wrong with clearing the headlights, some people like the look of it. Same as painting brake calipers. If you don't like it, fine. STFU and find another thread to post in. Every single one of your posts here has been nothing short of useless. Why the switch? And what mods have you done on your car that are so much better than everyone else? How about toning down the prick factor, pulling the pole out and relaxing? You might find it more enjoyable, not that I think you'll last that long if you keep going the way you are.

    Don't you think you would want to build something positive with the members, especially when your planning on buying and selling *stuff* here in MNsubaru? Being the A55hole in all of us, doesn't make me want to buy or sell you anything. Hate to say it, but everyone's opinion counts, even yours Angus. But at this point, I doubt anyone cares. Just gotta work on your people skills.

    well I dont think I have met you... and by the looks of it I havent missed a whole lot... and it truly shows what a dip5hit you must be when you post about people on here having no lives (if you mean me... hmmm a wife, 3rd kid on the way, many toys to play with, etc etc to fill my boring non-existant life with excitement) and then you say all you want to do is come on here and sell and buy... well have you heard of EBAY d1ckhead... that way people wouldnt have to hear from your pointless brain.... as Sog's said... whom in their right mind would support you in anyway by buying your crap when all you do is lay crap on people...

    clap clap.... you have proved yourself more moronic then I thought possible..


    and NO I probably wont see you at the drive in as, contrary to whatyou believe I have a life outside of cars and dont find my menial existence in life to revolve around a car meet in a drive in theatre... touche...

    ps.. if the mods were d1cks such as you have been I would not support them and would go out of my way to get banned by calling them out...

    Guys, Angusracer is tur6osmur6o6. Apparently with the new s/n he has a new personality, as his older posts don't come through like this at all. Matt, you seemed like a decent guy when I met you, I'm wondering where the switch came from. He's got a black 02 WRX wagon he bought from our store.

    As for me dropping parts going off to ABRA Chanhassen, I'm more professional than that, and so are the rest of the guys in the department. I'm not going to let your little internet tiff affect our business and our relationship with other shops.

    And Nathan, I think he was referring to his opinion of other peoples modifications rather than that of the moderators when he referred to "bad mods".

    ROFL. That's funny. If you knew anything you'd know that this site has no bearing on whether or not we congregate and interact. Firestone happens regardless of if this site exists or not. The Mods here only control what quality of posts are left here. Which in this case, they apparently aren't paying much attention, because you have been allowed to act the fool for the past week without any hinderance that i can tell. I'm glad you are on your little crusade, and now that we all know you are only here to act like a douchebag and make money, we know to avoid you. Thanks for playing...and thanks for running your mouth without thinking about what is coming out of it.

    Yeah, I think it could go either way. Whichever it is, I just vote we ban him and be done with it. Sure, differing opinions are great, and welcomed. However, there is a tactful way to do it and apparently he hasn't realized it. I'd say he's pretty much ignoring the probabation letter he got, so let's just be done with him. Matt, I'm not sure what your problem is but I'm pretty sure it's probably hard to pronounce.

    honestly it was all a misunderstanding that escalated... i was inebriated the first post i made but then flamed for my opinion... all i could do after all the low blows thrown at me is throw'em back... actually it's a funny story why i turned evil towards this site, it just so happens to include subaru4... i pretty much don't wanna get into it cuz it makes me so mad to even think about it
    you guys can kick me off if you wish no hard feelings

    Right, we've discussed this before. Smartassed comments meant to enflame the situation with no assemblance of a constructive idea or thought aren't treated as opinions, they are flamebait...yeah, whoa is you. You poor, misunderstood thing. If your opinion can only be expressed in some hateful, flame-baiting way, then yeah...don't say it. You could have said, "I don't like it." or whatever, but instead you chose to ridicule the guy.

    NO, actually it is pathetic that you would treat others with disrespect because you are all butthurt about a situation with one member. That's real mature. If you can't talk your problems out and not stomp up and down like a little baby when things go your way, then maybe you shouldn't hang around with the big kids.

    Well, if you've "turned evil" then why come back? Like I said, you seemed pretty decent when I met you, which is why I'm surprised to find out this is you. Honestly, I was hoping you were a troll from a Neon board or something. This somehow seems worse, as before you were a decent member. I don't know what it is that happened between you and Subaru4, I guess that's between you and him. Taking it out on the rest of us is no way to go about it. While it's up to the mods whether you stay or not, a public apology might go a long way towards the rest of us not wanting you banned. If you want to stay and be an active, decent member towards the rest of the people I'd do something quick, because all you've done already is get everyone against you. If you don't care, then don't bother. It's up to you. Your last post sounded a little bit more like the guy I met rather than the one who's been posting lately.

    Yeah, can it, lets not drag the flaming on any longer. If he wants to bow out of the problem, I suggest you do the same Alex.

    fine i am sorry... i made a rude comment that obviously wasn't necessary... i've lost interest in this argument seeing that it's not goin anywhere... i do honestly like the bulbs now that i know they blink amber but at the time i only saw another kid putting white bulbs in and calling it a mod thus the harsh post... i would respond to readymix's post but it would only lead to more of this...
    but i'm glad you got that last word in subaru4... better hope we never meet again
