Chrome amber bulbs question

I need to get some chrome amber bulbs so I can get rid of these orange bulbs throwing off my headlight looks.


Shot at 2007-07-21

But I don't know the difference between these and which ones I should get.

I was thinking about getting the 1157 Switchback LEDs from autolumination.com

They light up white for the running lights and blink amber for the turn signal

Only problem is they might take a little modifying to the headlight to get them to actually fit in the housing
And, they're $25 each and $7 each for resistors to make them blink at normal speed

Hmm, how would you address that problem to make it fit?

See here - Switchback LEDs inside headlights.... FINALLY!!!!

This was in a 3G TL, though. I'm still not sure of a 2G member that has tried this the 1157 might slide right in, but it might need even more modification. I guess there's only one way to find out...

I'm actually not sure if I am going to do this yet either. I want to try, but $70+ for corner bulbs seems a little outrageous. I might wait until they go down a little in price or at least until someone has tried this so I can see actually how much modification needs to be done to the housing.
