Anybody get the new Grafxwerks stickers that go over the turn signal?

Saw it on the Grafxwerks site today, but no picture... I'd love to cover over mine with white if it looks nice...Pete

I'm hoping to get/have pictures this weekend. And ironically, they'll be on a white Vibe.- RyanGrafxWerks

Thanks Ryan!Maybe another order coming your way! LOL

Oh I didn't realize they totally blocked that out.Hmm...not to sound stupid...but what would the point of these be then?

Clear corners?Never heard of those.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Mar 18, 2004 4:35 pm

but when the blinker is on, you can still see the light blinking.. just not as well from the side, right? i had clear corners on my tundra, w/ blue blinker lights. then i had a cop tell me that the blue lights were not legal and i needed red or amber. so i just put the stock ambers back in so i wouldn't get a ticket.will that come in silver?

NY Pete · Post by **NY Pete** » Thu Mar 18, 2004 9:01 pm

Cool. I'll buy some in a couple weeks (I just put in an order with you for some dark blue arrowhead overlays for my Mom's AWD Neptune)... Pete

GrafxWerks · Post by **GrafxWerks** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 3:34 am

Yeah I can do the "Beat by a wagon" sticker, do you have a good picture of it? Font?- Ryan

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 3:45 am

Any idea what font that is?- Ryan

ShotInTheDark · Post by **ShotInTheDark** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 8:32 am

go it in the same font as the overlays. I think that would look the best.

GrafxWerks · Post by **GrafxWerks** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 11:58 am

I'll make something up and post it by the end of the weekend.- RyanGrafxWerks

They're on the site now. I can't do a bordered one, its too small.- RyanGrafxWerks

Doesn't sound like the kind of accessory that is convenient to put on for those times when people take the vibe off-roading and then remove for street use. How many of these do you sell?

Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»So, it seems like if you get these and put them on your vibe, you are just hoping that you won't get a ticket for it or get in an accident because you disabled your turn signal.First off, I'm not pushing these on anyone. I had customers request them, and so I offered them. Would I put them on my car? No. At the end of the day, I just want to make my customers happy.Next, these DO NOT COVER THE SIGNAL LIGHT. I don't even own a Vibe and I know how the headlight assembly illuminates. If you look at the picture, they only cover the amber lens. This is what makes them illegal, as every vehicle in North America must have an amber reflector on the front corner of the vehicle. The signal/parking light is still perfectly visible and operational.I stole this pic from Geo to demonstrate the location of the signal/parking light, which is in no way affected by the overlay:Now note that the overlay only covers the side amber reflector, NOT the signal/parking light: - RyanGrafxWerks

joatmon · Post by **joatmon** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 2:31 am

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't cutting on you for selling them, I misunderstood the effect they had on the signal visibility. in general I want my car to as visible as possible (within limits) to keep the bad drivers away, and I the want other cars to be as visible as possible (within limits) to keep me from doing something stupid.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 2:33 am

really? when i had my clear corners on my tundra, the only thing the cop told me one day was that i had to lose the blue bulbs and go with amber or red bulbs for the turn signal. said it wasn't a big deal if they were clear just so that the light itself was either red or amber. maybe that's just here.

Almost everything I sell is reflective... if thats not visible I don't know what is! Quote, originally posted by trdvibe Â»when i had my clear corners on my tundra, the only thing the cop told me one day was that i had to lose the blue bulbs and go with amber or red bulbs for the turn signal.Red bulbs in the front are HIGHLY illegal - I'm not sure why the officer would've said that. Only emergency vehicles can have red up front. Most officers don't worry about the amber requirement, so long as you have adequate lighting up front (ie: functional signal/headlights). If you were pulled over for something else, however, and you were a jerk about it, I'm sure the officer would be more than happy to write you up for the clear corners/vinyl amber overlay.- Ryan
