You have way too much time on your hands if you're worrying about such things.

when did i ever say that? what is wrong with you people? by your theory, your motor should be fully built, turbo'd and tuned before you even lower, install a shiftknob or remove a decal.

i have entered... the land of the retarded.

Go to Home Depot and get some Orange flood lights, wire in a DC-&gt;AC power inverter, run some wire to your turn signal, and then zip tie the flood lights to the core support.

There's a write up on this somewhere but I can't find it right now. Try searching "flood light blinkers"

That is my opinion, If you have the show that pos better be able to go.

you are the typical ricer who just wants a flashy car aka ATTENTION *****. I laugh at flashy little **** like you all the time who have lights blinking and MadD tizziyte orange corner blinkers and I pull up and smoke the panties off their girls because they wasted to much time on "show"...whatever floats your ricer boat I guess

Use hand signals. Or if you want them to be "brighter" paint your arm in reflective paint.

damn you guys are vile; this is the freaking civic forums. People are gonna ask questions like that. Every one of you has done something to your car because you thought it made it look better.

As to the question at hand: you can increase your wattage but your car won't like it. a lot of people end up with fucked up wiring or melted bulp sockets. though if you find a bult thats not too big of a jump I'm sure you can swap up to a higher fuse and be ok... I'm just not sure where you're going to find a bulb thats not like a 30 or 50 percent jump up in wattage.

Pry the lens off of the corner light and unscrew that amber insert, seal the lens back up with adhesive and voila...it'll still appear somewhat amber since that yellow reflector is in it..

stick your face about 1 inch from the corner lamps, in a darkened garage, and have a friend flip the turn signal.. im sure it'll be more than orange enough for you...

Go to SPW I know they sell a voltage box that increses headlights by over double the stock power. Make it work for your blinkers..

you dont know me or know my car. i asked how to make the turn signals flash brighter because mine are too dim for my taste, and you call me the "typical ricer". how does that make any sense? i dont even want to waste my time on e-thugs like you, its so pointless. you have no clue that i spent the entire winter saving up for a motor swap, but you still talk ****.

whatever ******, im tired of ht and all the bullshit that comes along with it, its such a headache.

Again look in a SPW catalog or go on line .. They got a unit that does exactly this but its made for headlights, Im sure you can also tap your turn signals as well. Hope this helps........Now you can have brite everything
