I haven't been able to locate any bulbs for the blinkers that don't change color with time. I used some APCs that were "supposed" to be Hyperwhites, and they looked great for about 1 day. They eventually turned a greenish color and looked like garbage.

Either Nokya hyperwhites, some LED whites, or some bright amber bulbs.

I have the amber bulbs that came with the clear corners but I'm going to change them...both the bulbs and the corners themselves.

I have the "euro diamond" ones...don't like that you can see the 194 bulb...looks like an old Vegas casino's outdoor lights when the lights aren't lit. I just bought some of the older "frosted" clear corners so you can't see the bulbs.

I'd go with hyperwhites too...match the headlights.

Where can you get the hyperwhites from? Ive been using just regular stock clear bulbs in mine for a year with no problems. They do look kinda yellow though, so maybe thats why I havent gotten any flak from cops. For the smaller corner light I put a maroonish red light in them matches my paint had those in for a year too and no problems.

I've been through this before too, and I decided I was gonna go with an amber bulb with chrome coating. You can find them at various places online. It looks awesome because the bulb has a mirror finish to it, but when it lights up the color is amber. However, these bulbs only lasted me about 1 year before the paint considerably burned off. Kinda disappointing, but I would look for somewhere that carries these chrome-painted/amber bulbs.

Yeah I am not too worried about the cops...


This will be nothing compared to what drives around on the street on a daily basis...

and my old car I had a bit of an illegal exhaust, at a meeting, a guy brought a decibel meter, 115 decibels in the car, and pegged the meter at 135 decibels standing next to the car...

only ticket I ever got for exhaust was from a campus cop, even from cops that pulled me over and gave me speeding tickets never got an exhaust ticket.
