I am looking to paint a part inside my turn signal assembly, however, it is currently yellow and when I put in a blue-tint xenon bulb, the yellow part reflect out of the turn signal and it looks like a really nasty mixture. Now, my question to you guys is what color should I paint the part? Should I paint it chrome or blue (because the bulb is blue-tint)??

So I should paint it white? IT'S NOT RICE! YELLOW/BLUE MAKE A NASTY COLOR FOR TURN SIGNALS!

The mod actually results in an appealing whitish/blue color for the turn signal bulb which is APPLEALING to the eye, unlike RICE!

Blue==cop car color.
Yellow reflector==REQUIRED on the front of a car, visible from both the front on view and side.

Cops LOVE to ticket people with blue lights.

ok, smart ass....blue is only the color of the bulb, it is actually HID white when it lights up, yellow OR WHITE are required in the front of the car........your turn signals can be white! in FL anyway....

yellow isn't required, you could use white and get away with it. i've gotten sh!t from cops about the bulbs in my clear corners giving off a blue tint, but the light is infact white (piaa bulbs)
