Q: Circular turn signals options?
Has anyone changed out their turn signals to anything different? Or changed the bulbs to LEDs?
I just found out the Saleen turn signals are from a mini cooper from another recent thread on here, quite a surprise. Except no company really offers any aftermarket turn signals for the mini cooper, wanted to see how they would look like on a Saleen.

When I purchased mine the previous owner actually installed HID's in there. Love it!

Have you had any discoloration of the lens from the heat?

Surprisingly they still look good. The car is also an 05 so its been out in the elements. I will snap pictures tonight with the lights on/off.

If you are thinking about trying to change the lens housing to something different it might be tough. They are rotated a quarter turn for the Saleen's and I believe they are placed in a different bracket. Not 100% positive though. Next time you see a mini driving down the road you'll notice how their white "driving light" will be pointed downward towards the ground though.
I have LED's in mine. I like them because you don't see any amber until they blink. They were expensive though, $70 a set for the ambers (3157). All the corners are 194's and the license plate bulbs are 6418. I think the tail bulbs are 3157 too. Quote:

Yeah, definitely HID's. I'll take pics of the ballasts also.

I wanna see! So there are 2 HID bulbs in each housing or just the regular amber for the turn and HID for the parking light?

As promised. I haven't taken them out so I'm not sure what kind of bulbs are in there. I do know they are 6000K. Here are some pictures. When I turn on the blinker the other side of the light turns on also. When its just "on" only the outside is lit up.

Any pics of the ballast? I'm wondering if they are LED's and what you see might not be ballasts but resistors?

They are regular ballasts like the one's that you purchase with the ebay HID kits. Regular size, not the slims.

and those are not the ballasts for your headlights? Just seems odd, doesn't seem any brighter than LEDs in that housing and they are HID, def. weird set up!

Yeah I agree, my Saleen did not come with factory HID's so I currently have 4 ballasts sitting in there. If it wasn't raining I would snap some more pics LOL

I don't think I would want that in a sealed housing. My last DDM HID kit almost melted my trucks headlight assembly and it was a F250 which is huge compared to that little driving light. I think I'm going to stick with an LED. Slowstang, definitely get us more pictures. Can you not feel the heat coming off of it with your hand? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

http://www.superbrightleds.com/ Those look nice! Very bright and clear over the stock ones. I saw a guy at fabulous ford with them but I don't remember who he was (I think he had LEDs though).

I dont know the difference between what the 2 sites sell, but its much cheaper ($17-$25), and should be relativity the same.

You'd be surprised with V-leds quality and brightness.. I have tried others and you really get what you pay for with LED tech..

I put led market bulbs in from SDMustang. I currently have Ed working on getting me the turn signal bulb in LED. My bulb has offset posts unlike the 3157.

That's why I'm working in replacing the amber bulb with an LED to lose the color. I have the Raxiom stacked projector lights on the way Im going to try out.

Your right, the 194 is the same price on VLed, seems more legit, I might get that one from VLed. I only looked at the 3157 on VLed, you bought the 3157 LED amber turn signals right? Can you post some pics of that when you get the chance?

How did you guys get to the turn signal bulb? Is there an easy way to reach them?
I just replaced my dome lights and license plate lights and the LEDs for the turn signals just came in, but at first glance, I don't know what the best way to get to them

After you pull off the rad cover take out the 2 bolts that hold the top of the front bumper on and you can pull the bumper down slightly to get better access to the turn signals.

Finally had the time to install it, everything went smoothly, and it looks great!
Only problem is...now I need new headlights because it makes it look bad since the turn signals are so clear and white now hahaha

So has anyone tried a different LED other than the vled for the turn signal? Also what about brake lights and reverse lights? I'm thinking about ordering them all from SDMustangAccessories unless there's a reason not to. I don't need them to be brighter than my headlights lol... But I would like to also change those out for HID's if there's a decent kit or if I can get a hold of a factory set.

I got them from SD Mustang Accessories, I will be getting the rear lights from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ because they have dual intensity LED's that I can't seem to find anywhere else.
