I've asked this question a few times but cannot find an answer. Maybe someone can help. What is the color of the bulb behind the orange side markers for stock GS3/4? Thanks.
BTW, this might have been posted already but clearcorners.com will take the stock orange and clear it out for you. The price is $100 and you have to send in your lenses. I know this is steep but if it's an exact fit then I will be the first guinea pig for this conversion. I just need an answer on the bulb.

Im sorry, I dont know the color of the bulb....But, if you do this mod and it turns out well, please let us know. I would love to have this done.....A big concern in the past has been that the process used in re-sealing the light fixture isnt perfect. It still allows moisture to get inside the lens area.....Double check this with clearcorners.com before hand....$100 mod for a product that doesnt currently exist isnt too bad...I would do it if it is QUALITY!
Thanks, Tiny

Damn it. That means I have to find an amber bulb. I suppose it shouldn't be too hard. Anybody know where to get the right bulb?

This has been posted before, I believe, but here it is. I'm willing to roll the dice and do a proper reseal myself. I'm going for it. I'll do a step by step if I can swing a perfect "stock" look and seal.

you can actually get the amber bulbs from any car part store..ie. pepboys, autozone, R&S Strauss....etc...


i didn't put an amber bulb in my clear corners...i put yellow!!!...i also put yellow in the parking lights inside the inner headlight...so now i have my HIDS and all yellow bulbs which match my fogs (looks incredible) the one thing that i wanted to do was not to make it ricey so i didn't want to put the hyperwhite bulbs in there..the yellows look really classy!! i've taken pictures i'm just waiting for them to develop.
