what kind of bulbs do you guys use for the 2002 tail lights? i dont want yellow, is it legal to have a clear turn signal? does anyone know anything about the L.E.D lights? someone tell me your setup. i will get red if clear is illegal

 

Talk to NBP TL about the LEDs..

and Clear isn't legal.. or more correctly, bluish clear is not legal.. but if you get regular clear bulbs, then those would probably be alright, but look sorry..

Red would be nice too.. but I personally don't like red cuz it reminds me too much of the old man American cars.. and I don't know if a red bulb will work that well in daytime..

I think a couple people have the hyperwhite polarg bulbs in there..

Try it.. bulbs aren't that much..

 

thanks, i think i will get just clear bulbs. they wont have a bluish tint. i don't think the cops around here would bother me about clear . red was my last resort, it would be too much red back there. clear will look sweet, plus the clear section of the tail light wont look like a faded yellow dot.

 

I have the hyperwhite polargs in my tails....BOY DO THEY LOOK SWEET! So far, no harassment from the cops....keeping my fingers crossed that it stays the way.

 

2k2,

How do th hyperwhite polargs perform in the daytime with the sunglight on the tails? Any compromises at all?

 

I got the high wattage ones. They are amazingly bright, day or night. At night, you can see who's ever behnd you light up when the turn signal is on. For such a simple mod, it draws attention and compliments the TL perfectly. Well worth it in my book.

 

Do you people w/cleared corners have the actual cleared corners or do you just have the hyper-white bulbs? I am currently looking for any companies that make the actual cleared corner sets. If anyone can help, please responds.

no companies make the actual cleared headlight for the TL. i've looked everywhere.

 

You should do what I did, as well as several others on the board.

Take a normal orange bulb and spray a light coat of silver spray paint on it. The yellow cannot be seen. Check out the pics.

Off


On

 

that looks pretty tight! what kind of paint did you use? where can you get it from?

 

Just regular old metallic silver spray paint. Works great. Just be sure to do very light coats.

 

NICE!! I'm gonna try out some SilverVisions next if one of mines goes out..


tl-kode16,
Our headlights are one whole unit.. so getting just corners for it aren't possible..

But there are a couple people who have done it as some shops, that is if you can be w/o your headlights for a couple days..

 

i just ordered polarg 7440 hyperwhite lights from here. on the order form it said 99-01. are they the same type bulbs on the 02 tails?

 

No..

if you have the original wiring harness, the 7440 will be fine.. but if you have the 02 harness, you will need 1156 bulbs..

 

so can i use the wiring harness that is already in the 99-01 tails in the 02's?

 

Yep..

only the signal bulb won't fit in the slot that well.. just a piece of tape or something to secure it in place would do the trick..

all the other ones fit nicely..
