Clear Corner Bulb Consensus.

Hey guys,

I just installed clear corner lenses on my gen 4.5 camry, but I am not feeling the way the amber bulbs make my lenses look.

What are my options for having amber light, but a bulb that won't interfere with the clear, clean look of my new corner lenses? What amber bulbs do you guys use?

Muchas Garcias,

well, usually, the point of getting clear corner lights is so that you can change the color from amber to something else, with most ppl preferring white.....

but if you want, you can just get an orange bulb to put in it so it doesn't give off a sickly kind of amber/orange light....

I by accident bought blue bulbs for my turning signal.... they were in the wrong row of accessories with those of whites, and since they all have a blue color, I bought the wrong ones. In the state of Florida is it legal to have a blue turning signal? I have researched it and come up with very little. In other states it is only white or amber, but every state is different....

There is also somethign called a TITAN bulb, it's a silver coted bulb that lights up amber, so when it's not on diuring the day, u get the whitish look for your clear corners and then it lights up a bright orange. Also, there is suposidly a blue bulb that lights up orange as well. Someone posted about this before so u may want to search for it.

can you see white turn signals during the day? i wanted to get hyper white bulbs, but was concerned that they wouldn't be visible.

also, where did you get your bulbs from and what color are the bulbs themselves?

My gimpy clear corner bulb recently blew out. It was a clear bulb with a gay yellow color. I think for white light I'd have to get with LEDs. Does TITAN make 194 bulbs like that?

Has anybody ever tried these Sylvania Silverstar signal bulbs?

http://www.sylvania.com/auto/sssignal.htm

What looks cleaner in clear corners, these or the chrome/silver plated bulbs?

Those will give a blue tint/look to your corners, the silver coated ones will keep a whitish/silver look too it.

I was trying to find a solution for the egg yolk problem the clear corners cause. I came upon the idea of taking some silver high temperature spray paint on this BMW board

I tried this method but I think I put too much paint on the bulbs, cause the light wouldnt shine through. The other option I was pursuing was buying some bulbs or LEDs here for the turn signals

Instead of trying to paint your bulbs yourself and possibly screwing things up, you can buy these chrome electroplated bulbs. I think this is what I'm going to do.

I have a pair of Chrome APC Titan bulbs for my solara and camry! They are chrome and look sweet behind clear corners by day...and shine amber by night. HOWEVER, they are not as bright as the OEM ones, hence for those wanting to indicate...they light a bit dull (less brite)!
WHY? i remeber seeing my indication from other cars' rear bumpers, etc before..now i can see the reflection off other cars...but other than that..i'm 100% satisfied with my purchase....I took them for my registration (had replaced clear corners with OEM corners just for registration..not the bulbs tho') and passed registration....phew!
