Yes that sounds pretty dumb. If you want nice turn signal bulbs those silverstar ones aren't bad. If not put the stock ones back.

Stick with a NA (Natural Amber) bulb for two reasons:
1.) Blue bulbs are illegal on non emergency vehicles especially blinking ones.
2.) Natural Amber means the glass is actually amber in color. Its not a coating. The color will not fade.
NA bulbs say NA in their name...example 3157NA is natural amber, 3157A is coated amber.
