Rear turn signal bulbs EBAY

SES_D · 04-09-2007, 09:59 PM

What do you guys think of these

1157 is the right size for our rear turn signals. Those bulbs would give a white turn signal look and would get rid of the amber. Comments appreciated!

are white rear turn signals legal?

SES_D · 04-10-2007, 12:42 AM

They are in some states I believe. CA's not one of those states however.
I still want them though. Anyone know if these will work?

I have LED in the front turn signal, and I prefer the amber signals.

Blah, just ordered 2 pairs from bimmian. Good price + safe.

i always thought white turn signals in the back are illegal, i mean if they blink white - if they blink amber u're safe.

Prolly the smart move.

They will light up, and yes you will get an error message. I've tried amber LEDs like these.
