DIY Stealth Bulbs

I recently purchased a set of stealth bulbs. These are supposed to remove the amber in the headlights. i was wondering if anyone has done this mod and if there are any DIY listings for this. Thank you.

To get to the turn signal bulbs there's a cover in each fender well to remove and the bulb simply twists and pulls straight out, maybe 5 min job at max. Takes more time to get in the car, start it and turn the wheels.

Paul Walker above gave you the solution. If your wheels will not turn, or you do not have an inner liner on your fender wells, you should take the car in for service.

access is through the wheel well. You'll see a door in the well directly behind the headlight.

I don't believe you can get to that LED without taking the housing apart, but do a search; people have done it. And there's a vendor who does that as well. Fortunately, they look clear during the day, so I'm not bothered by them. Good luck.

I was under the impression that you can program it so that the amber lights will not run with the lights and only work with the turn signals. Am I correct in saying that?
