Default Chrome Bulbs

Hey Guys,

I decided I want to change out my signal bulbs to the chrome ones for a more appealing look. (I really don't like the yellow).

Would anyone happen to know a good place to purchase chrome plated front signal bulbs?

Thanks,

Alin

Thanks guys, I guess I'll order from hoen, and I'll buy the two front signals and the two rear signal light bulbs.

The Hoen one last pretty long time. I installed mine 2+ years ago and still going. The city light ones I installed at same time just gave out few weeks back.

I got mine from ebay - distantxtremes_llc. Great product, fast shipment.

If you have the Euro sidemarkers, don't forget to change those bulbs, too.

While you're in there, if you have the litronic/HID sys, change the H11 hologen high-beam bulbs to H9. Stay with 65W, but move to 4300K or 6000K bright white. More light and better look. You'll need to remove the short inner plastic tab from the bulb; the bayonet will fit as is.

That's a good suggestion but I don't regularly drive with my highbeams so I'm going to leave them as is... I left the fog lights as is also as I never turn those on either.

I did a full cool white LED swap for the whole interior including glove box. I also did the trunk, hood, license plate, and side marker bulbs.

I will be changing the front and rear signal light bulbs to the chrome plated ones and that's about it for lighting.
