Default Clear Corner Bulbs

Hey this is not a big deal or anything but last night when I was installing my shark racing clear corners I happened to notice that the bulbs that came along with the clear corners were different then the factory ones!!! Can somebody tell me why.

North america uses parking lights and turn signals in the same bulb, so we need 3 wire harnesses and 2 filiment bulbs.

The rest of the world uses those for turn signals only, so they only have a 2 wire harness and a single filiment bulb.

Can you still use them or do you have to put in a new bulb?

You can get LED Bulbs. They are 1156,1157 3157 compatible. They use est. 12-22 leds. They are clear when off and blue,red and amber when on. I think the amber stay amber even when off.Some models rotate. They make an clear corner look totaly stealth.Ckeck out nopi.com

You must re-use your old bulb and bulb harness from your original lights.
