ORIGINAL: mb18

It does look good...much brighter. Is it showing up white or amber? It seems more white in the picture. I'd look into it, but I don't think we're allowed to have anything but amber turn signals on the front of the vehicle in PA. Cops, especially locally, are really picky about that...my friend with the Gen II Dakota got busted for that a year or so ago and they made him rip out and change his bulbs right on the side of the road.

I think I'd be more inclined to do amber LEDs when these bulbs go bad.
they "look" clear when off, so it looks cleaner....when on, they give an amber color, its a little darker then the stockers when on, but it looks cleaner and richer in color...

Hmm...good to know. It was harder to tell that from the pictures. Thanks! I'm still thinking LEDs, but, well, I'm not so sure now...this might be a bit easier and cheaper.

Where did you get them? How much?

i thought u said u had them? i like them, i feel they are "cleaner" and when off, i like how it clears up the lamp, and when looking at it and its not crystal clear silver, you see a blue hue which is imo a looooooooot better than orange

No, I have the crazy sweet LEDs.

When I said I did that too, I meant, laid on my back and switched the bulbs from the ground.
