Thanks but those are the lenses, I was looking for Clear / Silver Bulbs that flashed amber in color to avoid the "Fried Egg" look that amber colored bulbs give through clear lenses.

After a bit more of poking around I found where many are just running clear bulbs, here I thought amber was required by law but some have posted that is not the case.

The laws appear to vary state to state on whether you can run with amber or white turn signals, or just amber turn signals in front. I believe you're OK with white or amber in states like NJ, TX and CA. PA and WI, however, both require amber signals. MA requires that all motorcycles have amber turn signals, but I haven't found anything prohibiting white turn signals on cars. Of course all rear turn signals must be either amber or red.

Her's the link for CA: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc24953.htm







Go clear!

One can convert side markers, turn signals, and brake lights to LEDs. The front amber LEDs (with clear side markers) appear white except for a very small amber LED, but blink amber. The rear amber LEDs cannot be seen through the red lenses, but brightly blink amber even though the lens is red. The red LED brake lights are really impressive. Also you need to replace the flasher unit to slow down the LED blinking, with access to the flasher through the left-most dash gauge hole.

Has anyone had any problem with the LED lights being too hot? I recently installed a very professional quality LED set of lights from Bergvill and have been happy with them. Then the other night my leg grazed the clear front right turning signal as I was leaving the garage and it felt hot to the tough. I'm concerned the LED's might be hot enough to damage the plastic. Anyone have any experience with this?

LED's can be hot to the touch, but typically run half the temperature of conventional incandescent or halogen bulbs. The heat sinks do generate some heat that dissipates into the air, but unless there's an electrical issue these bulbs have been thoroughly tested and should be safe. Check out the URL below explaining how LED's run cooler. Good luck!

Silly Question but Need an Answer: I picked up the BergvilleFX LED kit for the 993, including amber side markers (the LED bulbs themselves appear sliver with tiny orange diodes) - but I cannot get the bumperettes off to access the light bulb housing. None of my sockets are deep enough to fit over the extended bolts. Can someone tell me what size is that nut so I can buy a deep socket to clear the extended bolt?
Many Thanks!!

I've found that 82.37% of all fasteners on the 993 are 13mm.

This one, however, is 10mm, the 2nd most common size on the 993 in my experience.

Get a 1/4" drive as the 3/8" is probably too wide to fit.

Very late to this conversation.....
(Life has a way of happening when you're busy making other plans...)

I found these bulbs to be an excellent conversion both to LED and to avoid the "fried egg" appearance of orange color bulbs in a clear housing.
They completely disappear in the housing and put out a very nice even orange light when blinking. Dual element - so no issues.

Hi,

I'm looking for links to buy the clear front turn signals and bulbs for a US 993TT bumper.

Could anyone please help?

Thank you

Hi Brian,

Thank you very kindly. I've not been able to find these elsewhere after exhaustive search.

Just ordered a pair! Thank you again.

Cheers,
