Hey i bought after market tl tail lights...and i cant find the orange bulb for the turning signal, my bulb is white right now....i have a 2000 TL...can anyone help me with this?

It sounds like you went to the '02/'03 tails that have the clear turn signal lens. You'll just have to get the amber bulbs to put in there (I can't remember the bulb no.; 1156 I think???).

Someone will post the correct bulb number.

MikePA

1156a
Must be an important question....posted it twice.

Does it matter if its a white bulb for your turning signal? I'm actually thinking of putting a hyper white on mine

JQ.

i can get pulled over for a white turning signal in my city....if anyone has the bulb ill buy it for double of what u got it for...

MikePA

I am fairly certain you will get pulled over any where for white turn signal.

TLMugen

Just go to AutoZone or PepBoys and get the bulb. Just look up "rear turn signal bulb for '02 or '03 3.2TL"; you'll see that it's different from the '99-'01 because of the color.

MikePA

1156a where a = amber.

will the 02-03 light bulb fit my 00 tl? and is 1156a the lightbulb i need?....

MikePA

Yes

MikePA

To expand....

You don't have 00TL tail lights. In your very first post you said you replaced them, right? So you need to buy the bulbs that match the year of the tail lights you are using. I assume you replaced them with the 2002 and up model lights. If this is true, then the 1156a bulb will fit.

the harness is from my 00TL tho...i got the aftermaket tail lights with no harness or bulbs...i had to use my old ones....

TLMugen

In that case you'll have to get the amber version of the '00 bulb (7440 I think??).

MikePA, you want to chime in here...

MikePA

Yep, 7440.

Would have speeded up getting an answer if you would have included this information in the first place.

Go with red led bulbs. That would look hot with the clear turn signals. If you get pulled over, be nice and make sure the officer marks your ticket as "fix it". :cop:

red LED's as turn signals in the rear is legal. alot of cars these days come with red led blinkers from the factory these days. but if you want to find one for the 2000TL, yes it is 7440. or you can just pull out the bulb and bring it to any car shop, NAPA is probably the most common, they are all over the place and it only costs 2 or 3 bucks..

houstoned281

amber is orange right?

houstoned281

thanks for the help too

aaronnn

yes it is. amber would be the color that the bulb first came in when you bought it.

how much do the led blinkers run?

how do i get these blue colored signals and low beam headlights???i would REALLY LIKE TO KNOW and the place to buy them. plz hit me back AIM - JRoNiNF

fsttyms1

those are the high beams, not the lows.
Look for the bulbs with the most blue tint ??

songoku

Is that just reflectioin inside the light w/hyper blue bulbs??

Anyways, getting back to the original post about the rear turn signal bulbs... I just painted stock clear bulb w/yellow paint. I think it looks better than orange and didn't cost me anything...

Oh really!! Tell that to the Massachusetts police. I did, and still got nailed with a ticket for having red turn signals. Must have been the "end of the month" quota fill. I fought it and got away with it though, but not without getting the "don't let me see it again" lecture.
