    Turn sigmal light bulbs

    I was just wondering what type of bulbs did you guys use after installing clear corners? I just received some clear corners and i was wondering what brand of color would look good?

    I have the stock ambers.

    I think www.nopionline.com may have those bulbs. There are probably better places though.

    When i had clears, i used Amber bulbs, But i put IRIDESCENT POLYPROPYLENE wrap, several layers of it over the amber bulb so that during the day it looks clear and then when lit its orange. Only cost a few bucks the wrap looks like this:



    you can get it at any craft store.

    You can also buy the bulb itself but it cost like 30 bucks, it looks like this
    Got BRABUS?

    I got a can of high-temp paint and put a very light coat on the stock amber bulbs. They're a little bit dimmer, but otherwise they look great.

    If you have HID and wanna match those white or would like to get a REALLY clear corners. (the wrap 714GUY using sometimes give ur clear corners a tint of the wrap during the day)

    Stealth auto bulb - silver bulb that lights up in amber. www.matrixracing.com
    I am now using white LED bulbs just to match my HID. A little more expensive cause you have to use capacitor to get rid of the bulb out warning cause LED has a much lower wattage than the ordinary bulbs. Easy installation though. (there is also amber too) more info...

    I'm definately planning on upgrading to amber leds sometime soon.

    BTW, it's a resistor that you have to connect with the led, not a capacitor.
