    Cars need the blinkers to actually 'blink' orange. You can't get clear bulbs to blink orange, you can get orange bulbs to blink orange though. But people don't want orange bulbs in their clear housings. That's the egg yolk look.

    But what people figured out is that if you take amber/orange bulbs and coat them with silver.. that the bulbs will appear clear with the corners, but blink amber as per the law.

    Thanks Dalton, thought it was something like that. The orange is not nearly that pronounced on mine, coupe vs. sedan difference?

    you can probably do 100 sets of bulbs with that one can
    Def worth a shot before buying bulbs. I'm assuming this has been done before. Right JP?

    Maybe, it just depends on how the reflectors within the corner reflect the orange in there. Stealth bulbs are definitely cleaner.

    Agree Dalton. Check out my sig, barely any orange. Looking at others, I can see much more. Strange....

    just make sure to mask the metal connections at the bottom of the bulb, two extremely thin coats should be all you need
