I searched, but wasnt able to find an answer. I am going to be clearing my headlights shortly, and was looking for a good option for a turn signal bulb. I do not want to do switch backs (dont want to deal with resistors), and I dont want some cheap clear bulb that shines amber. What I am looking for is a bulb to match my 8000K headlights. Dont want to have to do a HID turn signal though. To be honest, I dont even mind if it dosent blink amber, just as long as it matches my headlights.

I am open to any ideas!

BTW- As a nooby doing my headlights. How hard is it acually? I read the DIY an dit seems pretty straight foward. Keep in mind this iwll be the first time taking teh front bumper off and everything.

Thanks!

ive done a few headlights on a few different cars being the tl, tsx, civic, and others and learned a few things on the way.

1) the front bumper is pretty easy to take off, just follow the diy
2) when baking the headlight, MAKE SURE you line the oven grill with a cooking sheet or something that will protect the light
3) Replace the silica gel pack inside the headlight that absorbs the moisture, i would replace it with a few new packs (2-5 packs)
4) i would suggest using a heat gun instead of an oven to reseal the lights, sometimes the xenon lens fogs up because of moisture (really depends on where you live)
5) have some rubber butyl 3m window weld or the nissan sealant available. even you i never really had a problem resealing with the original stuff, you might want to add a tiny amount to areas where the sealant is thin. you can find the window weld at autozone for like 8 bux. make sure its the rubber BUTYL one and not another one.

feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

The only turn signals that might match your 8k would probably be the switchbacks as you can see in my Avatar I'm running 8k all around.

hmmm, only thing off the top of my head might be some PIAA light bulbs. I use one in my trunk, it lights up the whole damn thing. (an LED in the trunk is retarded). They're really bright bulbs, some have a 'blue' case that might be close to your HID color. all LED turn signals will require load resistors or they'll hyperblink, so a standard bulb in there might be your best bet.

A standard blue tinted bulb would work, but the color would be off.. You're best bet would be to run switchback LEDs and wiring up the resistors

1) they need to be orange to pass state inspection.
2) 7443 is not made in orange so you'll need to buy some that have been painted aftermarket.
3)after market bulbs are so dim they can only be seen at night. (Especially chrome dipped bulbs.)
4)LED bulbs are the only ones that will give you the color and brightness you want.
5)The resistors are simple to install. No more than 15 minutes to install.

Check out www.v-leds.com The switchbacks are cheaper than the regular one color amber bulbs. And cooler too! The quality is superior to any aftermarket standard bulb.

Just quit being a PUSSY and man up & install the $5 resistors lol. It took 30 mins to do mine. All you will be doing is running a "bypass" on th line. It's so easy even a caveman can do it. If you're willing to take the bumper off and place $1200 worth of parts in an oven that ISNT meant to bake headlights, then you should be ok with a little wiring ..... Now put on your big boy pants and make that damn car look good.

Btw... The switchbacks almost seem to match too perfectly...

I agree on the switchbacks.. I ran with my standard bulb for the longest time and man I feel like an idiot for not ordering the switchbacks/resistors up front.

Go with the switchbacks, But don't go to autolumination to get them.

V-leds 48led V1 is what I am running currently. I had the 60led from autolumination and the looked great and much brighter than the 48's but died 5months in. This is a known problem with there switchbacks.

Switchbacks seem to be your only option if your clearing the headlights. Especially if you don't want a ticket.
