Turn signal after clearin headlights - similar to Gearbox's post..

I want to get the pure white look after clearin my headlights...
Now, If that is illegal (I still might leave a stock white bulb in) then I have to get an amber bulb , right? I got two 7443 amber signal bulbs from Autozone, but they are too amber! They are by Extreme ...some aftermarket company..but they are very amber and it reflects a little amber even in the daytime...need advice on bulbs - white (get pulled over?) or a more subtle amber is what I want! Thanks

Check your local laws...
In my area (CA), the turn signal has to LIGHT UP a color thats amber to white.

I have blue bulbs that light up white. In the daytime the blue reflects off the chrome making my car look like I have blue. But cops cant pull me over because it lights up WHITE.

Not even 1/2 as bright as regular amber bulbs, can't see during the day, and crappy dark orange color at night. Horrible. I have some if you wanna buy mine. Used for 10secs before I took em out.

Use stock bulbs. They're amber-ish when they're lit...
