Turn signals must be ambered colors, or close, pure hyper turn signals will get you expensive tickets.
owners manual has not told me one usefull bit of information on how to change lights or even part numbers
Someone mentioned early that they just forced the blinker bulb in by shafing the nipple explain to me in more detail???

do not force anything into anywhere - - - the manual does have the sizes of the bulbs in it and how to change them - - - the turn signals are PY21W . . . ?? I believe from memory and to change them is so simple - - - turn and pull out the bulb assembly . . pull out the bulb and put in the new one - - put the bulb assembly back in . . . EASY AS THAT - - if u try to force in bulbs that were not made to fit you run the risk oh shorting something out or completely f***ing up your lights . . . . .

They have Philips Silver Vision - silver when off, amber when on. Note, both front and rear signals are the same bulb...they're $24/pair shipped.

for the driver side turn signal, is it necessary to remove the battery? there sure isn't much room on that side.
I ordered my Front and Rear Turning and Interior Dome Lights from RAIautosalon.com in Super White. I should get them tommorrow according to UPS. I'll keep everyone posted as to how they fit. I hope it fits well for the $73.95 that I paid for them. And if they do.....Then thats money well spent

I used the APC Hyper white bulbs for my side markers, front and rear turn signals. (I also removed my rear license plate lights)They look blue when not on and white when on. Be carfeful when removing the side markers as my lens seperated from the housing. I had to use super glue to reattach it. I used a vice to squish one of the nipples in on one side of the bulb. It worked fine on all four bulbs.
