Default 03 sedan turn signals

is there a certian specification the bulbs need to be?
i kinda dont like that amber on white look, even if its unlawful i think i wanna change em

are the bulbs even amber or is the casing around them amber?
what do u think bluish turn signals would look like? (blue on white when i got them on)

thx

the housing is part amber too, so you would need to clear them. blue would look really nice with really white bulbs, but everytime a cop sees you with your lights on then you are gonna get a ticket, not really cheap either.

when i looked in the OM, the rear turn signals had (Amber) next to the watts/voltage..but on the front there was none.. this mean that the front turn signals are actually clear?.. soon ill be clearin out my headlights so i guess ill just find out then, but itd be nice to know so i could buy turn signal bulbs ahead of time

not necessarily does it mean that they are clear, but it means that clear light can be used because the housing is colored. On the rear the housing is clear which is why it specifies amber.

so when i shop for bulbs should i just look for some that are the same wattage/voltage? or will basically all minibulbs fit?

also i know for normal bulbs piaa's and sylvania's are good brands, i assume theyre also good for turn signals, but are u got any recommendations?

There is basically two types of bulbs. Wedge and twist. Also you need to find out what bulb your turn signal is because you can't go by wattage alone.

Blue and hyperwhite turn signal is not only :ghey:, you'll get tickets if a cop sees you, and they aren't visible in the day.

i am pretty sure they are 1157 bulbs not too sure though. If you have a walmart close by go to the auto section and then there is a little computer/machine that you tell the info of your car and what bulb you want and itll tell you which bulb to buy.

I'd stick with amber or get the titanium bulbs that look silver when turned off and amber on. I hate when people have blue or hyperwhite turnsignals..........looks so cheesy.
