frosted ones

good. those are easiest to take apart. then you just solder new LEDs in there. i think they are either 3mm or 5mm LED bumbs, but i'm not sure

before you make the mod, dbl check your FL motor vehicle laws to be sure
that they allow white blinkers. they may demand that turn signals be amber.

i just checked it doesnt say anything about what color the turn siganls have to be

raymond g-

nah...ever state specifies color. though not a definitive search, i did a quicky
and come up with this...so on the surface, it looks like you're okay. again, i
didn't research, merely Googled.

316.234 Signal lamps and signal devices.--

(1) Any vehicle may be equipped and, when required under this chapter, shall be equipped with a stop lamp or lamps on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red or amber light, visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight, and which shall be actuated upon application of the service (foot) brake, and which may but need not be incorporated with one or more other rear lamps. An object, material, or covering that alters the stop lamp's visibility from 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight may not be placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied over a stop lamp.

(2) Any vehicle may be equipped and, when required under s. 316.222(2), shall be equipped with electric turn signals which shall indicate an intention to turn by flashing lights showing to the front and rear of a vehicle or on a combination of vehicles on the side of the vehicle or combination toward which the turn is to be made. The lamps showing to the front shall be mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and, when signaling, shall emit white or amber light. The lamps showing to the rear shall be mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable, and, when signaling, shall emit a red or amber light. Turn signal lamps on vehicles 80 inches or more in overall width shall be visible from a distance of not less than 500 feet to the front and rear in normal sunlight, and an object, material, or covering that alters the lamp's visibility from a distance of 500 feet to the front or rear in normal sunlight may not be placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied over a turn signal lamp.

i thought the only thing illegal was to have to have any lights that are red (other than brake lights) and/or blue, which is only meant for emergency vehicles i.e. police cars, ambulance, and fire trucks.

most states are consistent in their requirement....that when viewed from the
front, you only see white or amber. when viewed from the side, white or amber.
when viewed from the rear, red or amber. the specific colors as to which
function/bulb is usually spelled out in the state's motor vehicle laws...which may
also go into detail insofar as how high, how far apart, how many, etc.
