Cleared Headlights, replacement amber bulbs??

Whats up guys

I am thinking of clearing the amber diffuser out of my CL-S lights, courtesy of Mr. , I still want the amber bulbs, but which amber bulbs would fit that are the same exact amber color as stock, I dont want to put in the "blue" bulbs, I want amber, so when I put on the lights on at night I wont have 2 different colors!!! So what company makes them and style number are they, I have to look up PIAA later on tonight, but any info would be good guys/gals!!

Get "Silver Vision" style bulbs the ones that look silver or clear but light amber, or go with amber LEDs. Either look cleaner when the bulb isnt illuminated. A good LED site is www.superbrightleds.com

Just a side note on the LEDs if you get them your going to need the resistors they sell on the site if you want to keep the bulbs from blinking fast. The car thinks a bulb is out due to the lower power draw from the LED

No prob man, I have the Hyper White LEDs. Never had a problem with the bulbs or authorities... yet. I have the resistors but havent installed them since a minor wiring mishap but they do work. You can also check eBay for the 1157 LEDs but honestly superbrightleds.com is very very competitive with the eBay prices and they have a larger selection. Good luck and if u need anything else hit up my cell.

CLASSY, that's cool, I wanted to clear a second set of housings and paint them black. But it looks like the funds are going elsewhere. but when I'm ready, I want to hook up and check out how you did yours...

I had the same ones except mine lit hyper white. I wasnt very impressed with the color so I changed them out for the LEDs. I dont know if the amber color is any better

Hey, uh the leds they have a round "bayonet" base, is that what our headlight blinkers use? i havent looked at the fronts yet, was planning to clear them sometime this week. i know that tailights are all the wedge style, just making sure i dont buy the wrong thing.

What bulb did everyone use for their marker lights? They're the 168 wedge type.

No if you buy the APC bulbs from Pep Boys for your blinker lights you won't need the resistors.
