Default T/A Turn signal question

Is the turn signal supposed to be amber or clear? I assume amber. Mine are clear so was the bulb changed? I believe the lenses are supposed to be clear.

Yes, the TA turn signals are amber and the lens is clear.

The problem with the amber colored bulbs is that the amber flakes off after a year or two, leaving you with clear bulbs and a bunch of amber flakes inside the DRL lens.

Get NA bulbs. NA is natural amber and the glass is actually amber instead of A bulbs which just use an amber coating on clear glass.

Just add some amber colored blinker fluid and it will solve your problem.


















































Sorry, could not pass that one up.
