[Andrew C280]

here the problem the turn signals on the rear of my car are orange buy law i guess, but i would like to switch them to white since the plastic on the lens is white it would look cool i need some bulbs that will be bright enough for the day and not melt anything they also have to be crazy i cant even find orange replacements at my local stores.

After finally figuring out a number of light bulb issues over the past week, I strongly recommend that you buy your bulbs at the dealership or at one of the recommended online parts stores that everyone seems to use in here. They are very inexpensive. Only use OEM light bulbs, and be certain that the base of the bulb is NOT copper. It needs to be silver color. Many of the commercial autoparts stores sell the copper coated bulbs and I guess they can create problems.

As far as white bulbs go, I am not 100% sure, but I think the rear blinker bulbs come in white as well as amber. The rear bulbs are a tiny bit different than the front blinker bulbs as the two little knobs (not sure what they are called) on the bulb base are offset and not directly across from one another as they are on the front.

The front ones are like part # 2257 or 2357 - something like that.

Again if you pull them out, the number of the part can generally be seen on the actual bulb base and you can go from there.

Good luck!

you missed the hole entire point i want white bulbs to replace the yellow bulbs for the turn signals on the rear. the dealer will not have these plus i am running all copper bulbs and i have no problem.

For some reason the stock lights in my car were copper ended but anyway, for my front turning signal i used these "hyper whites" bulbs i saw at my local pepboys, they cost about 25 bucks and they work very well! I just had to find the ones that were a proper fit and make sure that the little rivets are in the same location as the original....mine are really really bright, for my tails however, my car has smoked tails therefore i had to buy superbright orange bulbs also from pepboys which cost me around 16 bucks, and these have a led like apperance is you look straight to the tailights and are very bright. I would go to pepboys or kragen or your local rice rockets shop to find good bright bulbs...

you can buy the clear bulbs... they produce a much whiter light than OEM and are still legal.

I just got my clear front turn signals... so in the end, what kind of light bulb should I get to get rid of the orange (in the front)?

you can get philips silver vision for the front turn signal. they look silver, but blink amber.

This varies by state laws. In california, it's illegal to have rear turn signals blink anything but red or amber, sidemarkers must be amber, and front turn signals must either be white or amber.
