i like the clear corners because the amber bulbs in them match the amber bulbs in my city lights.

the amber corners were too amber to match at night when lit up. then again, during the day i love the amber corners.

one or the other, can't have both.

piaa = expensive

i've had 4 pairs of PIAA bulbs and theyve all burnt out before their time

in fact, my current turn signals are PIAA and my driver side is dead. less than 2 years.

Never liked amber. Nice move!

I'd never thought you'd switch to clear though. Your ambers will be back on shortly.......


And then the clears......


and so on.......

wow, thats crazy. i changed out every single bulb in my car to PIAA two weeks after i bought my car and every single one still works, it has been more than 4 1/2 years

i like the amber corners but not on DG, DG looks so much better w/ clears

nah, same price.

i like the clears because the amber bulbs in them match the amber bulbs i have in my city lights at night. the amber corners are too amber (like a burnt amber almost) and don't match at all.
