corner turn signal bulb

This should be simple enough, just like removing a headlight, but how would you replace the turn signal bulb on 2K? What type of LED could replace it?

Which turn signal? At the back (tail light) or the ones in your headlight?

Depends... do u want it to be amber, or hyper white. i personally like the hyperwhites, they add a bluish tint during the day. you can get them at any local autozone/pepboys for about 3 bucks. they are really bright

thats why i like the ones above since you can see the blue during the day but still have it legal when you use your blinker. i did the free mod so the parking lights dont come on with your headlights. they only turn on when you use your blinker or hazard (not legal).

I put in these:



Bought them from cyclolite383838 here on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3238780584

I bought a pair early summer and I just bought another pair in September. No more amber tint from the front turn signals and rear turn signals during the day. They look pretty clear. Also, 100% legal at night when I use the signals since they flash amber.

The rears were hard as **** to install though. They don't fit right in. TRUST ME.

HUH?...please explain this. i understand a backwards bulb will use the reflectors more properly, but how do u get a backwards bulb to fit?
