Front turn signal lights?

They weren't in the FAQ on lighting

My question is whether or not it's possible to get clear ones. That is, the stock bulbs light up yellow/amber at night when my lights are on. Any way to get my headlights to be only white light when on, and maybe only yellow when turning? Or something like that? I recently put in clear corners and hate that I still get the ugly yellow glow on the sides when my lights are on!

well you can get mirrored bulbs but then they are on they are going to be amber. you can get clear ones at any autoparts store but they will always be clear, there isnt a bulb that will be clear and amber at the same time

Get the mirrored ones. They will do the trick.

you would have to wire in 2 different bulbs some how. one to the power wire that is constantly on and one to the wire that only comes on when you flip the signal switch. there isnt exactly a lot of room in there though so im not sure how well that would work out.

sorry, but if you want to be legal, the lights will have to light up amber. however, when the lights are off, the color of the bulb glass itself can differ. heres what they look like (and yes, one pic is with projectors, and one is with clear corner stock-style headlights).

I have the mirrored bulbs. They are awesome in the day but a bit dim compared to sylvanias.

I just don't like the amber lighting. Maybe I can just get powerful headlights that will drown out the ugly yellow.

you can try experiment with LED bulbs that are clear bulbs but glow amber. theres no way youre gonna get around the color of the glow though. white headlights + white turn signal light = stupid, reckless, asking for a ticket.
