Light Question

This may be a repost so sorry if it is. I wanted to change the side blinkers on the mirrors on my 2002 430 from amber to hyper white. The dealership tells me the bulbs dont have a size because you have to buy the whole thing.

If I wanted to get hyper whites as my blinkers, what would i do. Thanks

You can't get hyper white cause they don't make 2321 bulbs in that color. You can change them to normal white as I have. You need to buy 6 pairs of 2321 bulbs (for a total of 12).

save your money... you only need 6 (3 per side) total

the voltage in the 2321 bulbs are diff from the factory bulbs... if you put 3 in each side, it will shut down the other 3 factory bulbs (they share power)... you can replace all 6, but, you're just spending more uneccessary money as it won't get any brighter (it actually looks dimmer)

So I just tell the store I need 6 2321 bulbs and they'll give me the correct ones? Also, is it hard to install these bulbs?

just go to pepboys and buy 3 packs... they come in sets of 2... like $2-3 each set...

search the forum, there has been a few step-by-step instructions from many members (myself included)....
