Question turn signal bulbs after clearing headlight

OK OK....i spent like 5 hours last night taking my bumper off and both my headlights to clear them. Anyways, everything came out real good. My question is what type of bulbs did you guys stick in the turn signal slot?? The stock ones look like crap cuz they make it look yellowish. I want to put some orange/amber ones, but i went to autoparts and they said they dont make em in orange for that size; only in "white". What did u guys go after clearing them, Also what is the bulb model #?? thanks!

The bulb size is either 7440 or 7443
I believe that amber and white are the only legal colors
Autodynamic.com has them both

Pep Boys has them....7443 Amber. They're in the Rice aisle.

I cleared my headlights the other day and it only took me 2.5 hours! :P
Did you remove the front bumper completely? I just took the top off and let it hang. I need some hyper white 194s now because I broke my LEDs

yeam i took my bumper off completely because I changed my stock horn to a FIAMM one. It's the 132 dB high tone one, but I think it's actually less loud than stock

7440 only come on when you turn on your turn signal. 7443 come on when lights and turn signals are activated. And the hyperwhite from autodynamic sucks

if you're looking for amber 7443 bulbs, good luck. very few auto stores carry them because they're not in demand much. I know someone that found em at Pep Boys, but if you have no luck, try some online stores. or even ebay.

I am almost certain I got my amber bulbs from Pepboys. It has been a while so I can't remember. I got the cool blues from there too. They have lasted a year as of right now.

I had to get the little "popcorn" bulbs from the local import shop. They were the only ones that carried them in the hyperwhite style. They have also lasted a year to my surprise. I don't know what brand they are as the package had nothing but japanese symbols on it.

hahahah....it's like looking through the **** mags at a liqour store...

I'm glad they had the lights though!

I've got the FIAMM Blaster low tone and it's OK. Not as much of an improvement as I expected, but it's still better than stock.

^yup got the same ones. But after fining out that white turn signals were legal, i switched them out. If you can't find them, just buy them online. Ebay maybe?
