Default Stealth Turn Signal Bulbs
I was wondering if anyone has tried to switch out thier amber turn signal bulbs for clear ones. If so, is it tough to do? Any instructions would be super.

Thanks,

That would result in white turn signals which is not legal anywhere I know of.

Lenses for turn signals are clear and the bulbs are being changed from amber to clear, how does the turn signal still flash amber?

They use an FM device in the bulb.

I have done this. It was easy. The stealth bulb is amber, but has a silvered finish on the bulb. When not lit, the bulb looks silver. When lit, it glows amber. I think it improves the looks of the car when the DRL's are not on.

I bought mine at Autozone. They are the Silverstar brand by Sylvania.

i used LED's looks the same in the daylight (night now - pushed open on FOB)
i did not put the load resistor on - so it blinks fast (like a bulb is burned out)
