now that i have custom taillights, my turn signals blink white, and i dont really wanna go all crazy putting in led's just for turn signals.

but i went to pep boys to see if they had any red or amber coated 7443 bulbs and they do not. All they had were white/clear.

Are they gonna come in the fashion I want them to, or will i have to go with LEDs? If I go with LEDs, what would be the best lights (i prefer vleds.com) and which resistor would I need?

How bout this: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/P...35733-1-2.html

And I'm not sure which resistors I would need ... http://www.v-leds.com/LED-Load-Resistors/c122488-1-3/

I rather just go with regular bulbs if possible, since its cheaper, but depending upon whats available, we'll see!


Thanks in advance!

 

Google turned up a few sites:

That should give you a few choices.

 

haha, may i asked what your google search was, bc i couldnt find shit.

I must of been omitting like one important word or something, b/c i really couldn't find anything!

Thanks though!

 

And one more questions, now that im not forced with red, what do yall prefer for turn signals...

red or amber? I guess I should just keep it OEM with the red ...

 

keep it red

 

I think I just Googled red 7443. Glad to help.

 

What tail lights did you put on and where did you get them?? I have been wanting to get new tail lightst that have a clear blinker area, thanks. Post pics if you got em'

 

a few guys with clear tails told me that they had to go with amber because the red looks pinkish when on, beacuse it does not have the red reflector to induce the red color.

 

I would keep it red to match your rear side marker

 

Well, they will be the smoked/type s style soon enough.

 

I'd prefer amber. Safer/easier to see when the tail lights or brake lights are on, imho.

 

thanks for the opinion, Bearcat!

I always liked amber in general as well.

Plus, if the red does look pinkish, i rather go with amber anyway

ended up going with red ...if they look like crap, ill go to amber and only be out $6.50, no biggie

went with these, nothing special:

I have the type-s smoke front and rear side markers and at nite they look good

 

wow i also have a 04 TL SSM with these same tailights and black housing headlights

 

post some pics

 

how?

 

how what?

 

i went with the 48 led SMT from VLED's for my rear turn signals and they look awesome, n i have the 6ohm 50w resistors

I will post some pics. I'm still new at this and trying to get the hang of it

 

You got any pics or videos, im curious how bright those 48 LED's are.

 

 

Here are a couple more pics, I have leds on the turn signals

 

^^ They look good. Which leds did you get and how bright are they at night compared to your brake lights.

 

I got them off ebay cant remember the brand but they are only 9 leds, at nite they are bright, but during the day I've been told that you cant really see when they are blinking so I'm thinking of going back to regular red bulbs non-led

 

I was looking at 27 led bulbs or 48. Wondering how they look though before I drop 30 bucks on bulbs and 10 bucks on resistors and waste my time haha.

 

btw those tail lights look sick on your car

 

Thanks bro
