Amber LED's or chromed bulbs for Cleared out Headlight blinkers??
I cleared out my headlights today and when I went to the local auto store to buy some sort of orange bulb, i discovered a 7440 orange bulb is hard to come by. So i'm gonna order online. What do you guys recommend? I think the LED's are cool, and they're only like $3 more for a pair. Well, here my choices are:

Amber LED's


OR

Amber 7440 bulbs that are chromed, as to not reflect orange in the headlights

www.autoillumination.com is where I found those bulbs listed above. housecor said he ordered his bulbs from there when he cleared his HID's. the site seems to offer good prices

You beat me to it. And if I recall, autolumination offers free shipping on these as well. It was around 8 bucks. They look great and I'm guess are brigher than the LEDs would be.

IIRC LED's in your turn signals will make them blink really fast and we all know how ghey that looks. Go with the chrome bulbs...

I got the chromed amber bulbs from autolumination, too. They work well, nice amber color when flashing, no amber color in the housing when they're not.

Little off topic, but do we use H3 for our fog lights.

For those that ordered the red and amber led's from autolumination.com, which one did you buy, the 194 4-led bulbs or the 194 6-led bulbs?
