Default Blackouts from GST20psi [pix]

Ordered these from GST20psi on monday and got them today.

great guy to deal with and great product ... real top notch.

took me a lil' over an hour to install as i couldn't figure it out at first, mostly due to the fact i'm stubborn and didn't look at his very good direction, pictures and all.

once i figured it out it was breeze and it looks great too.

I put them on my C-5 but I cut out around the DRLs so that they could be seen along with my turn signals.



A good product that came with good instructions but to me visibility of the turn signals in daylight with the sun shining on them just wasn't good enough. I found that I was getting too many one finger waves at certain stop lights when I signaled a turn. Eventually I figured out that it always happened when the sun was shining on the front of the car.

I taped around the edge of the DRLs with blue masking tape, removed the blackouts, cut out the piece over the DRLs on my band saw, and sanded the edges smooth.

I am pleased with the result.

Note that I also painted the fascia vents black.

I just disabled my DRLs (I hate 'um)and installed clear bulbs in place of the yellow ones. The clear bulbs are brighter than the factory bulbs.

I have never had a problem signaling my intentions to turn.
