Chrome turn signal bulbs

[a c i d.f l y]

This mod took less than five minutes to install. Simple twist on the front two housings, two screws on the rear housing with a little pull to release the two plastic holders on the rear housing, pull the bulbs and plug in the new ones.

The white car is my wife's. Exact same model, just swapped my front ones before remembering to take a photo. That's how fast and easy it was. Definitely looks super clean on my black car. Not sure I'd suggest it on the white model. But hey, it might look good too.

For anyone interested in where I got them. They also have a four pack. I mistakenly purchased two until I realized the rear bulbs were identical.

How's the output compared to stock?

As bright if not more so than OE.

Looks sharp in the daylight. My car needs a shower. Friggen pollen and dust has been crazy.

Exact how do you remove the front headlight to pop the new light bulbs in? Sorry I’m an amateur.

Open the hood and look. It's crazy easy. You just twist counter clockwise and the bulb comes out with the housing. Pull the bulb, plug the new one in, insert it back into the housing, twist to lock into place. Takes 20 seconds.

And the rear is just the two screw and the obvious "changing the bulb" step?

Two screws, then pull the entire housing out, there's two rubber grommets holding it in place, and requires a little tug upwards to remove, then yeah, same bulb changing process.

Where did you buy the bulbs? Link?

Ebay, search "amber chrome 7443"...something like this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/222540329739

Whatever you do, DON'T BUY THESE (see below image). The thick black plastic makes the bulb pop out of the housing incredibly easy. I had to buy a tool to fish one out of my headlight casing since it popped out and into it.

Thanks, acid.fly, for this. I was actually looking for a set of these bulbs. Hate the fried egg look. I bought from the same seller you linked, but got the 4 bulb set like you mentioned.

Here's the link for the 4 bulbs if anyone needs it:

Thanks. Any reason to go with these over an LED option?

Blink rate remains stock, and if the LED has any color, such as light yellow or green PCB (what the LED's are attached to), will reflect similarly in the housing to the stock bulbs. Also they're 1/4 the cost (generally).
