They turn amber when blinking and when used as daytime running lights. Vision was greatly improved!

Thanks! Low beams were from JW Motorsports and switchbacks were from vette lights.

There are high power LED's available that can outperform the OEM lamps.

However, they are fan-cooled and you cannot put the rear covers back on once these LED 'lamps' are installed. This lets dirt/etc get inside you headlight housing.

For some this is not a problem, for others it is.

Pic shows the covers removed from the headlight assembly.
