i bought 2 different pairs of white signal bulbs for the rear....it took me like 45min to take out the left side rear lite assembly...(since there is one screw where it is hard to reach, need to take out the panels inside the trunk)...when i took the damn thing out, i found out that none of the bulbs that i bought is correct!!! diu~~~ newayz...j/ for reference.....buy the bulbs that are "glass coated" bottom...not any of the plastic bottom..(sorry dunno size name).....

Dude,

I saw this article in Wheels last week where they were talking to an OPP officer. Looks like clear (white) turn signals are illegal. I mean the tail lamp may be clear, but the bulb must be amber. Overall if the OPP does NOT see amber when you're signalling, they can ask you to replace the lightbulb.

Now I know clear looks better, but they have a point: on dark, cloudy, rainy, foggy days amber signals are easier to see than clear, which would just fade.

This thread is garbage now. Refer to the other thread entitled "Catalogue of Exterior Bulbs" to find out about your bulbs.
