Homegrown turn signals

heres the ones i made, i smoked them very lightly with white paint
I made one like that playing around, but never put it on since w/ out the faceted reflective stock lense it is pretty obvious it is not DOT approved and must another reason for them to pull me over (and look under the hood- eek).
One can simulated the look of the stock reflector, but not funtion by the use of flourescent light cover material.
One can simulate the funtion of the stock reflector, but not the look by using the reflective paint w/ glass beads in it on the backside of the clear lense.
Or just grab a larger clear faceted DOT lense off another car and cut it down to size being careful to leave the DOT info in place... Still might look cool enough they pull you over, sigh.

Well actually your wrong it doesn't exactly look like the picture, and if you read my posts you'd see that i'm going to tint them tommorrow with 20% window tint and it doesn't look bad now, before i painted the silver housing black it looked broked but now it doesn't when you look at the car the clack housing now blends in with the side moulding and looks quite nice, your entitled to your opinion and i agree taht the s5's look great but i wanted something different and i did it and the reason i say the pic doesn't do it justice is that it was taken on a camera phone and the colors are off and everone whos seen it in person likes it
