Hellos guys I recently changed out my side markers for my 2017 Civic hatchback sport to clear ones but the blubs I got are organge and can be seen inside the housing anyone know where I could buy some clear blubs so they won't be seen inside housing. And what color did you guys go with for the blubs white or Amber

Search Philips 194 Amber LEDs, or any ebay/amazon LED that looks white.
If you want halogen bulbs you can get smoked bulbs that still light amber.

I, for one, think white sidemarkers lights are a tad tacky. They were a big fad in the late 90s.

You kind of want the amber lights on at night so people can tell which side of the car they're looking at if it's really dark.

You don't normally find amber lights in front or back, so...your call.

https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Amber-Bulb-Contains-Bulbs/dp/B01A77UIKW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491391947&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Philips+194+Amber+LEDs&th=1 Found these on amazon and yeah I noticed the stock ones are clear. the markers when lighted up you cant even tell I changed them really I might put the stock ones back and order the ones above I might go white led so they look clear at night as well cause the amber lights kind makers it look almost the same
Hi - Im looking for this same type of bulb. The link above includes a "White" bulb. Is that the same as CLEAR? or are they different? Also is this an exact fit replacement for the stock amber bulb?

Thanks!

Your side blinkers MUST be amber color... federal law.

If you don't want it to stand out too much... get LEDs like inv4zn said.

Its not a blinker so I don't think that would apply. A turn signal yes.

Honda Civic 10th gen 2017 Civic Clear side marker blub help 16jo4dv


Bought the clear lenses from AutoMama8 seller on EBay for $20.. Definitely high quality. Appears to be Honda oem part. They install tight with no issues. Be sure you get them clicked in properly.

On the Sylvania bulbs there is a red dot. It lines up with the black marker on the harness. So you don't need to guess if they are installed properly.
