Still wanna remove chrome... (Read 80 times)

doc5446 Senior Member Offline Into the night... Posts: 307 Randolph, Ohio Gender:	Still wanna remove chrome... 04/10/09 at 11:49:23 Suppose I wanna take off the fender rails. Could I still use the factory turn signal directly into the fender? I'm thinking more black and less chrome.

Reply #1 - 04/10/09 at 11:52:31 Yup you sure can, might have to change a couple of things to get it to fully work though. You can always take them and paint them black or have them powder coated what ever color you want.

Hmmm... It's probably possible, but I'm thinking it'd be easier with a set of aftermarket signals. Just for the ease of mounting them. Aftermarkets usually have a bolt on the end of them, secure with a nut and would be easier to mount to the fender (or wherever you're going with them). The OEM ones bolt INTO the fender rails.

I'm pretty sure you'd have to do some work to get the stock ones to work. IIRC, they've got stems that are secured by a bolt rather than a threaded rod with securing nut.

well i wish i had a pic for this one, i made 2 small "L" shaped brackets that fit inside of the turn signal housing and bolted them right to the fender, worked like a charm. i did not re-use the rubber mounts and vibration never cracked them. the housing sat flush with the fender....

*edit*

i had a pic but not a upclose, this was right before i removed the rear fender. i had them mounted in the back hole. you can see how much shorter they were....
