Silver/Red rear signals

just a minor mod. it makes the rear tails a bit cleaner.

hey man, it doesnt blink true red...it's almost like red/orange/pink mix. but its more red than amber for sure. I didn't get the license plate led yet but the rear signal bulbs I got is 7507.

go all the way down to "European Bulbs" - "Silver Chrome" . there are 4 different colors with silver coating

I got the festoon bulbs from them and they burnt out in the first week. I think that the wattage on them is to high. They looked great when they were on the car.

Hey guys...I ordered the Xenon festoon bulb in 39mm and 44mm sizes. Going to fit them on and see which one fits on and use the spare one in the vanity mirror light or something. these are not LED's since we would get the error message on the dash. They are just somewhat halogen/xenon-gas powered festoon's. I will update you guys on how these bulbs are...along with follow-up's if these burn out quick or what not. They say they ship within 36 hours of ordering. So hopefully I will get them this week. I also ordered the Silver/Chrome amber turn signals in 1157 (for the front) and 7507 (for the rear).

I did order the front blinkers. They are the 1157's I mentioned above your post...they said these should fit the stock 2257's I have on right now (I believe 2157 is what I have right now...not sure)

autolumination is a great website and I've bought tons of bulbs from them.

but, I'm really picky when it comes to my turn signal bulbs. I want them to light up as bright and as amber as stock. I tried the full silver bulb one (that blinks amber) and the half-silver half amber ones on autolumination. they're "ok," but if you're picky, they're not as bright nor are they as amber.

on both my cars I've used two bulbs that aren't silver and still have a somewhat orange hue (at times) or even blue hue at times, but the light output is very bright and very amber and looks just like stock. I've used both the Sylvania Silverstars and the Philips Silvervisions. the only downside is that they're significantly more expensive than autolumination. I have heard good things and do want to try out the stealthbulbs next though...

they're a brand of bulb. they're essentially the same thing, silver bulbs that blink amber. a couple of our sponsors carry them, www.jlevisw.com and www.stealthauto.com

they're A LOT more than the autolumination ones and even more than the silverstars and silvervisions, but I've heard nothing but good things about them...

*edit* you guys could always also do the LED bulb mod for the rear tails that Eric (E1000) posted a while back... I've been meaning to try that in the rear but have just been too lazy.

Your right, i didnt even think about that, I did just order some LED sl tails smoked. I could just do a led blinker and i already have the white/blue reverse. do you think autolumination will have that 7507 in an led is the kicker ?
