Honestly, a clear-ish turn signal will probably get more attention than the amber ones, simply from the fact that most drivers are not used to seeing clear turn signals.

it says BRZ only because the FR-S front indicators are in a different location (down in front lip/fender, not in headlight assembly). but apart from that, go for it!
although, not sure if front indicator globes on FR-S are a different globe style or not. HTH

Swapped out all the external lights on my FR-S today for LEDs, including switchback white to amber LEDs for the front indicators. Can confirm the globes are 7443.

what did you do to counteract the hyper-flashing? parallel resistors, or swap out the Relay for LED adjusted unit?

Resistors, because that's what I could get my hands on locally, though the relay would've been easier.

Just installed the chrome bulbs...very easy. Lamps definitely look cleaner now, but the bulbs are noticeably dimmer.
