Default Turn Signals???

This is probably a state to state thing but i just put my clear corners in and i want to put another bulb in because the orange looks like crap. Ive heard of the blue bulbs that light up orange but supposedly they're not out yet. Does anyone know if in Pa turn signals have to be orange or can they be blue or white or some other color. Thank Yee

I'm not sure on what the law is in PA, but I would assume it's a pretty standard and universal everywhere. You have to make sure you have some kind of orange light in your front turn signal location. BUT, I know alot of people that have the hyper white bulbs for turn signals and they've been fine around police. Also, the hyper white bulbs with the light blue tint (similiar to the headlight bulbs) should be fine too.

Basically if you buy any full colored bulb like blue, green, or red (other than orange) than you take a chance with getting pulled over.

Good luck!

H7 High beam???! You sure about that. I just replaced ALL of the bulbs in my 2002 Elantra with Eurolight Xenon bulbs, and my LOW beam was H7, high beams were H1, front signals were 2057 (1157 in US), backup lights were 1156. H7 only come in low beam wattage to the best of my knowledge.

It may be wrong...I'm not sure. I haven't swapped out my high beams, so I don't know first-hand. That's why I said it wasn't verified. Just what I remember hearing. The ones that I didn't say "not verified" I've replaced on my car, so I know fo' sho' that they're right.

The two bulb part numbers I posted that say "not verified" next to them I am not 100% sure of, because I have not replaced any of these bulbs on my car with anything else. Therefore, someone else should look them up and check to see if they're wrong. The OTHER numbers are for bulbs that I have replaced on my car, so I know they part numbers are right.

I'm pretty sure that Zorro can get the bulbs that look blue but light up yellow. Send a PM and ask if she still can.

The bulbs that Zorro can get do not fit USA turn signals. we have 2 element bulbs, the UK and korea have single element bulbs.

Zorro shipped a set to someone, and we found out the hard way. There is a company in the USA that is supposted to be carrying them in september...so I guess, just sit tight.
