Default Clear Corner bulb on projector headlights

I got tired of the amber blinker bulb in the inside corner of my 06-07 projector headlights,

So go to your local autoparts store and get a 3057 clear light bulb and replace the amber bulb with it, and you will have a clear turn signal.

Unscrew the bolt of the top of the light and take out the white clip and twist and turn the back of the turn signal bulb to get it out and replace the existing amber bulb with a 3057 bulb.

Then put the headlight back in and your done

I will post a pic soon and they do make a led 3057 bulb as well as clear corner bulbs that light up blue, search for 3057 bulb on ebay and you will see what I mean

I used sylvania clear bulbs but will be getting the chrome clear bulbs that light up blue instead.

The sylvania clear bulbs light up light amber and when they are on and when they areoff they are clear instead of amber.

Definatley a great 5-15 dollar cheap mod that you can do

I was considering installing the Sylvania Silverstar turn singnal bulbs. they have a blue/purplish tint to them, but when they are lit they give off an amber light.


Installed on Neon.


I am interested to see what yours look like.

is it illegal for you guys to have a "whitish/blue" blinking turn signal bulb in your state? because i used to have the clear turning signal bulb but didnt like the oem yellowish color it gave off so i got the piaa xtreme white and now it sort of matches my headlights looks good ^_^

The clear bulb I have right now isn't illegal and it lights up amber when on but is clear when off, I am happy with that

I have seen out herethat the cops use clear bulbs that don't turn to amber on their newimpalas

I will ask around to see if anybody has ever been hassled with bluish clear bulbs,

I was wondering the same thing because I know in my state (Texas) your "turn signal" has too be either a blinking red or yellow. WHITE/BLUE,ETC. ARE ILLEGAL AS TURN SIGNAL'S IN TEXAS.

So when the bulb is off on your headlight's it appears clear? But when you turn your head light's on they light up amber (yellow)?
Cops use clear bulbs that don't turn to amber on their new impalas??? Wat do u mean? Most cops here in Texas have Impala's at least the new one's do. And i have never seen their turn signal stay white
