I recently put super white bulbs in my reverse lights and I like the way it gives the blue tint look being that my tls is blue. I went out and bought the turn signals too but they don't fit. Every book and even this site say the same thing, 1156 single filiment bulb. However when I took my old one out it was odd, the two tiny tabs on the side that twist into the socket aren't parallel to each other like a standard 1156 bulb. They are kinda offset, thats the best I can explain it. I did a search and found Nada. So I figure I'll nag you guys for some help

 

Come on! Nobody has changed thier rear turn signals?

 

i've read that you have to cut or "shave" down one of the metal tabs

 

i changed mine to red using 7440 bulbs, no problem about the connection whatsoever, fits perfectly
but then i have a 99

 

Thanx for the tips, I'll see what I can do!

 

Please post your result. I'm interested to hear what you did!

 

I went to the hobby shop and got myself the paint and you can dip it any color you like. for the rear turn signals.,

 

I've already done it JPTLS21 ....... got my bulbs from the Pep Boys on Route 9 in Howell and shaved off the higher tab (simply used pliers and twisted it right off) then plugged that sucker in! See you on "The 9"

 

yah, u gotta clip one of the tabs off. i just did mine on my '03 and it was no big deal. i just used wire cutters and popped one tab right off. just make sure u leave one on, and it will still fit in the harness and hold pretty well. it actually came loose once, but i just pushed it back in and it's held since then.

 

Seen you again in lakewood, you must work in the area.

 

Be careful "clippping" the tab off. You are better off getting a file and fileing it down rather than clipping it off. That's what I did...no problems.
