Clear bumper lights. Amber or White?

Which ones you have?
Why did you go with that color?
Your thoughts on that.

I went with the PIAA wedge bulbs in the side lights and the Polargs for the actual blinking part. The polargs match my Hiper headlights pretty well, while I have the PIAA Wedge bulbs on all the side marker areas. It is illegal for me to drive around with white lights, but with all the integras around the area where I live, the cops never say anything about it.

Anyone had their blinkers always on and blink when turn signal is on (dual bulb)?

If yes, what additional parts you need?

I believe that if you want to do this, you just have to buy a single filament bulb instead of the regular dual filament.

My stock blinkers bulbs are single. Only two wires go to the bulb.

That's weird, I worked on a friends car and he needed single filament because his lights were always on and then blinked when he used his turn signal. Mine needed dual because it stays off until I activate the turn signal..

Mine are amber. NY law requires turn signals amber, so I did both the wedge and turn signals amber. It looks great. During the day (unless I'm turning ) it looks the same no matter what color your bulbs are. The only difference is when they're on at night, but who cares, you can't tell I have clear bumpers at night anyway!! Plus, I wanted to be legal....

Can you get pics of stock bulbs in clear bumper lights?
