Simple One: Clear Turn Signals

This is the first mod I've done to my BRZ and it's a pretty simple one. I bought some chrome bulbs on ebay to replace the amber ones that are in the headlights and tail lights. Total cost was $30 for 4 of them. These are chrome when off, so you don't see the amber reflections in the reflectors, but still light up amber. Installing them is pretty straightforward, the bulbs are in grey sockets that you have to twist and then pull out, and then the bulbs simply slide out and in. In the trunk there is one plastic clip you have to remove to pull the liner back and access the socket. The bulb type is 7440, or WY21W, they are interchangeable. Here's some pretty terrible pictures I took, but you get the idea:

Stock Rear


Clear Rear


Clear Rear, alternate angle


Clear Rear, lit up


Clear front

Looks sharp! It's kind of a waste of a brand-new bulb though, but I would sacrifice them for this, and keep them in case one of the chrome bulbs burn out.

Life's too short to wait any more! First, it was the car, now the bulb? Just change it!
If the clear one's burn out, replace it back with the stock. lol
