Default Clear Bulbs that Flash Amber
So I went to AutoZone to look for them, but couldn't find them. What exactly are they called? I found a few sites online selling them, but some wanted around $30.00 a pair.

I just need to know the brand name and product name. I've heard some people called the Sylvania Silverstars, is that right?

Yeah they are the Sylvania Silverstars but they aren't clear, they have a blue tint to them while off and then are amber when they are on.





The other option you have the LED switchbacks

they are called "stealth" bulbs in the import world. do a search for that. i dont think our sponsors have them though. these look clear or often chrome, not blue.

They should carry them at Pboys. If not they can probably order them for you.

I thought you had to use a certain number bulb for it to fit, maybe I'm just stupid.

Seriously, that filter is getting old.

Thanks for letting me know that though.
