Default Clear Euro Blinkers

I'll have a more thorough post with pics later, but a couple of months ago I rear-ended a minivan at a yield sign. What a dumbass I am. Frame was straight on my car but there was quite a bit of sheet metal damage. On the bright side (and after many dollars) she is in working order again. The guy who painted it does mostly restoration work. There's no body filler and his paint is incredible. Here is a shot.


So my question: I got the euro front bumper with clear corners. I did not realize the euro corner lights have only one filament, whereas ours have two. In Europe, is that used as a marker or a turn signal?

For the meantime, I just put the two filament clear bulb in there. I got chrome ambers for those housings but they were single filament too. What are you using in your clear corners?

Thanks in advance.

I'll let you check them out in person when they come in if you like. I found it in another thread...My euro clears would only work with the 7528 bulbs that came in them. I don't think you can buy that bulb here in amber.

Hey Rick,
Thanks, look forward to seeing them. You interested in Cars n' Coffee over at the Dupont Registry building on Ulmerton Saturday morning? I have some other friends going. Maybe your bulbs will be in by then.

It looks like there are a places that sell chrome amber 7528s, like these guys, but can't find plain amber 7528s:

Nice LED bulbs ... do they need a resistor for proper repeating operation?

****. I hope not. That would be beyond my electrical ability. I'll post when they come in.

I just changed my lenses out with the euro clear and they also came with the single filament bulb. I just used my old dual filament connector that was for my US spec lenses in the new lense so I had the parking light/turn signal.
