Get 1156 bulbs and file a metal nubby down. You have to do this because the metal nubbies on the bulb are 180 degrees while the holes on the harness are about 160 degrees.

Any color for the rear signal other than amber or red is ILLEGAL.

But with the front signal anything from white to amber is ok. Red and blue are illegal for the front signal.

Haven't tried, but 1156 is the more practical. 1157 is a double filament...

No trouble with the law yet but I'm sure my day will come.

No trouble with the law yet but I'm sure my day will come. That's why I kept the stocks.

As RBa said, you can use a toe nail clipper... but since I have a Dremel, I put it to use.

I made the nubby flat, but just file it down until the bulb will fit. Have fun!
