Not sure if anyone has tried this yet but I just spray a light coat of silver paint on the turn signal/side marker bulbs to hide the ugly yellow bulb sticking through my clear turn signal lense. It now looks so much better and still produce the legal yellow light when on.

One minor drawback is that it is not as bright because of the extra coating of paint. I could've spray a lighter coating to minimize this problem. Anyway I would recommend doing this for anyone with clear signals lense, especially ones with diamond cut since these are much clearer and the yellow bulb sticks out alot more like a sore thumb.

I've also heard that some company made/making these bulbs but thought that they're not yet available, at least in the US?

Polarg Visual (G-34 for amber I believe) bulbs will give you the same effect.

Bulb with light on

This is how it looks when on...



Same as stock.

4th gens use 1156 as their bulb for the clear bumper lense and red/clear tails, correct? If so, you can use these.

Hey Kev, don't the Phillips 1156/7 Silver Visions do the same thing? They look silver, but when they blink, they are orange?
