Corner turn signal lights?

Post by psychoBiLLy »

my itr just got taxed for the corner lights. damn haters! but atleast they left me the bulbs and connectors. had to buy them from dealer $69 each!!! anyone got any ideas how to modify it so it won't get stolen. i was thinking about putting tamper proof torx instead of the regular philips screws. just wanted to know wat everyone else was doing?

Theres no such thing.

Torx would be a good idea. Other than that I can't really think of anything other than trying to create some sort of other mounting point behind the light. Good luck.

from underneath look up at the way it clips in to place and maybe one of those small lugage locks would help?

actually there is a tamper proof torx. i work on german cars and we got lots of them. it looks like a regular torx but has a little wiener in the middle. thanks for the help though. gotta look in to it this weekend

my point is simply that nothing is tamper proof. if theres a way to put it together then theres a way to take it apart. I seriously doubt anyone would go through so much trouble for some turn signals though.

No such thing? I beg to differ. I've seen many different head styles that most people don't have.


<---- used to work at a fastener warehouse... :P

Edit: And there not the "weiner" torx like the German guy said...
