sweet!
did you get them for the rear too?

WiLz

nope, cuz the rear bulbs are already covered by an opaque piece of plastic that hides some of the amber, and i'm satisfied with that already.

Sagara Sousuke

haha Wil, the rear still shows a hint of orange.

I bought myself a pair yesterday. I noticed all the crap they carried. uggh...

I noticed they came in red, blue, purple, amber, and superwhite. I at first bought the superwhite, but it was too dim to even be "superwhite", so I exchanged for the orange ones. I'm satisfied with them. But I still noticed a orange hue in the housing. The superwhites covered everything well in silver. Oh well. Looks pretty good IMO!

Just put the APC bulbs, and it looks good, however, light output is noticeably lower than a regular amber 1157 bulb.

I had to also go to 3 different pepboys to find these and they were the last pair too . Lucky me. They look great! who cares if they are APC, they are just 6 dollar bulbs.

Sagara Sousuke

I agree. Who cares, it's just a bulb. if it was for 20 bucks, then that's a different story. Also, for your '02+ owners w/ clear lights, what bulb did you use under the turn signal(194 type bulb)? I was gonna get a orange bulb, but it'll show. But it seems thats the only option right now. Superwhite on the bottom doesn't match the orange on top. Nor does a normal "white bulb" Are there any LED Type orange bulb?

WiLz

now if someone could just find orange wedge bulbs with a silver coating...

SimTypeS

Couldn't you paint it yourself?

WiLz

i tried, but it seems impossible to get an even coat. i've messed up three pairs of bulbs already trying. and however i do it, however light a coat i try to spread, it still leaves it uneven, and so it lights up brighter in some areas and u see specks of uneven lighting.

silver paint coated bulb:

SimTypeS

What if you dipped the bulb, then it might be even.

WiLz

i tried that too, it leaves too thick a layer of paint

langjae

Gotta put a little paint thinner and you'll be all good. I did these to all my bulbs and its been all good. Nice and even, and still bright enough. I paid 4.90 at NAPA for the mod for paint.

Sagara Sousuke

yeah, i tried painting it today! ugh..how annoying. I wasted three bulbs from it.

langjae, how do you do the paint thinner thing? paint it first..and then?

WiLz

wuts the paint thinner look like? does it just say "paint thinner" on it?

Davediego

paint thinner is very common, just goto your local hardware store, usually comes in a can

Sagara Sousuke

i'm trying to figure out how he applied it.

WiLz

hey paint two bulbs for me if u succeed!

Sagara Sousuke

hahaha, i already goobered up three bulbs! :p

langjae

Oh sorry for the delay fellas. I don't post here often. I filled a cup with silver paint and paint thinner. Get a good mixture going. I'd like to say 50/50 mix but you just have to mess around with it so it may end up 60/40. Then you dip! Hopes it turns out good for your guys. I'll try to post some pics or how-to's if I do another set.

Davediego

I picked up some of the APC bulbs. To anyone that hasn't gotten them yet, be careful how you handle them, the paint comes off easily >:\
they do look much better then the stock bulbs though

1999TL

anybody willing to buy these for me and ship them to me? I went to pep boys in Houston and I couldn't find it. Hit me up on Aim, L999TL

I'll pay a premium too.

SimTypeS

Won't your Pep Boys order them, for you?

PhiTL

I went to PepBoys today and they only had one bulb left. They said that they will be getting more in. If I can get an some extra pair, I'll send it to you 1999TL.

1999TL

Thanks. hit me up on Aim: L999TL if you get on.

anyways, I live in LUbbock. there is no pep boys here.

vojm

Hehe which one did you go to? I had to drive to 3 different pepboys b4 i finally found a pair, and it was the LAST one too!!

1999TL

I went to the one on 59.

vojm

Yeah that's where I ended up getting my pair from. I remember the guy at pepboys from westheimer's pepbobys saying they restock every tuesday or sumthin, maybe you could try again next week?

1999TL

guess I might try again.
