I've found an alternative for the expensive "JDM" amber 7440 turn signal bulbs for those who want to use clear housings. The solution? An orange Sharpie marker. The Sharpie makes the color dark enough while still allowing the bulb to remain transparent. Quick and easy, and can be applied to your stock bulbs without worry. The Sharpie shouldn't wear off because the signals aren't on long enough for them to really heat up.

 

very nice, have you tried any other colors? im assuming only the lighter ones will work

 

Red, orange, green, and maybe even blue might work, but I haven't had a chance to try those colors yet. I've had the clear signals for two weeks and have been searching for amber bulbs until I decided to try this.

 

 

as long as it works lol

 

True, but it works. And everythign else is custom on the CL anyway, might as well make the bulbs custom too.

 

Good point, but I'd still rather buy amber bulbs, but hey, you made your own

 

lol, I just found amber 7443s in the 99cnts (AND HALF PRICE!!!) bin at pepboys yesterday -- I'm figuring they should work in the front turn sigs since the only dif from 7440 is they're dual contact (i think...), I'm gonna try flippin em both ways to find the bright side
fitty-fo' cents (if it works...), now that's
