I searched this site for any info on this but it was all vague.

In the owner's manual it says that the bulb # is S25. Would that change when going to white? Also, are they bright enough in white/clear to be seen as opposed to the stock amber?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Are you talking about front turn signals?
If so the bulb number is 1157 double filament.
I have some polarg s/w in my car.
In a bright sunny day you can hardly notice them, but at night they are really white with a blue tint.

Just installed the clear bulbs. Thanks Yongjun!

They look much better than the stock amber. I bought 1157 bulbs made by Wagner. This is probably one of the cheapest (under $2) and easiest mods...and IMO it makes the car look much better.

If you are talking about the lights on the front bumper. On this website I saw it done. "http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~chin/"
All that has to be done is to break the orange off the light and it is clear underneath.

Do you have any idea what the "S" means in 1157S ? The ones I bought are Wagner 1157 but there is no "S" . What would the difference be?
