Default More clear/smoked/black corner questions

So if you get corners and you use the stock bulbs, do you get an orange reflection off of the bulbs? I'm probably going with black, would that make any reflection less noticable? Am I crazy and there's no real reflection and its useless to get clear turn signal bulbs? So many questions!

You should try these, they look like they will work perfect with the clear lens.

The stock bulbs give a white light. The reason the stock setup looks orange is because of the turn signals. If you get the smoked or black or clear turn signals and don't change out the bulbs then they will reflect white.

Yep...but it should be noted that it's illegal to keep them white. Oncoming traffic can't see your white turn signals because they'll be muted against your headlights at night.

Get the chromed bulbs for that sick clear/smoked/black look.

I just bought the above mentioned bulbs for my black turn signals. Stangmods sent them super fast.

And, as mentioned above, the signals are illegal if you don't swap out the bulbs.

These are cool. The coating dims the light on the "Stealth Bulbs". These use a film that actually filters the light. The light looks amber when on, and has a bluish tint when off. I think they'd look good with the black housing, because they wouldn't be as noticeable as the "Stealth" bulbs.

Those actually look pink/purple when they're off. I had a set in my Lightning and hated them. The stealth bulbs look much better but I'm not sure about in a black housing...

Stealth bulbs are the way to go. I have them with my clear corners and they are practically unseen until illuminated. If you get them from Stangmods, just make sure you get the kit that has both bulbs sizes as it cheaper than buying the small/large ones separately.

Oh, well in that case, nevermind!
