Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

Can anyone tell me how to change the front vertical ugly amber strip light? Also can you tell me if there is a good clear corner bulb. I have the clear corner but the amber bulb looks bad. Also one more, what is a good replacement for the fog light bulb.
Thanks,
Alan:-)

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

The clearance and the fog are both in the housing obviously. The fog light (H4) has two clips which can be a little tricky if you don't take the wheel off. If you take the wheel off everything is pretty simple. The clearance is pretty simple as well. I would recommend the white LED 168 bulb for both the clearance and the side marker. The pic above is what I used. Its still gonna give off a slight tint of blue. For your fog, you should go with the Piaa Xtreme White H4 bulb if you want a white to match your HID, or the Piaa Ion Yellow H4 if you want yellow for contrast. Do a search, this topic has been discussed on numerous occaisions.

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

Where can I get those LED lights? Will these fit in the Coupe's clearance lights?

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

do a search on ebay for "white LED 168" they have a bunch on there pretty cheap. Example:

or

or this site has them too:

I got the one with the 4 little bulbs besides one solid one. Hope this helps.

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

That's great. Thanks. I assume these are direct drop-ins; do you have any pics of them installed? I'm wondering if I should go for the big single or the cluster of 4. I want the strip to light all the way with a white light, but don't want it to be overpoweringly bright.

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

There is no way the whole strip will light up. It will be bright on the top and fade down. I think its designed that way to look cool. I put the 4 prong into my side marker, but have yet to do the install for the clearance. It matches my clearance exactly right now anyways.

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

The strip will light up entireley, depending on which bulb you use. See this website:

Re: Front Vertical Strip Lights Replacement

Puff,

The link you poste shows exactly what I'm talking about man. Its bright on top and fades down. Its got to fade down because there is no bulb at the bottom. Notice how its solid orange at the top and it gets gradually darker??? Or am I blind?
