Has anyone tried stealth bulbs?

06RREX · 07-30-2008, 11:29 PM

never heard of them

av911 · 08-08-2008, 05:06 PM

I just received the one that blinks red. It's not bad, but there is a hint of orange when it lights up.

Can you do the same thing to a sedan? replase the bulb and what bulb type would I get?

the sedan uses 7440 blubs

and the coupe uses 7443 i believe

so much confusion

LordDurden · 08-23-2008, 11:40 PM

To set it straight - use the 7440 for the turn signal that most people are trying to clear out. If you get the 7443, it will work, but you just need the 7440. The 7443 is on the brake lights that are covered up with the red plastic, so clearing them would be rather pointless.

I just bought the bulbs listed at the top of this page (post 181) and they work great. I bought the red version and it looks pretty cool. It blinks bright enough that there is no issue night or day. The red flash looks like it is supposed to match with the red part of the light. During the day, the chrome blends right in with the reflector. Well worth the $10 to make it look much cleaner.

Im not all too sure why they added that orange in there in the first place, i think it looks awful. Nice job with these signals

It does look good, i hate that damn orange blinker. I also smoked mine out too, but you can still see the the orange/yellow when i put the turn signals tho.

okay so i was going to buy the all chrome ones from autolumination and was wondering if there are at least bright enough to see during the day i dont mind if there not as bright as the OEM and i dont really want to get the chrome dome cause the whole point of buying these bulbs is to not see any orange

leCouturier · 12-06-2008, 09:16 AM

The clean look is NICE.
Awesome DIY.

Great D.I.Y.!

Bryan 07'CoupeEX · 12-19-2008, 09:24 AM

Has anyone actually cleared the red plastic out of the tails and replaced with appropriate red bulbs? Is that even possible?

Code Red · 12-31-2008, 10:18 PM

whoa...so confused!!!

can someone tell me exactly what bulb to order for my ex coupe so i can COMPLETELY clear my taillights and still have them blink amber, and still be as bright as the stock ones?

zetarin71 · 12-31-2008, 10:34 PM

thanks av911

are they as bright as the stock bulbs?

Code Red · 01-04-2009, 12:50 AM

just put mine in yesterday
doesn't have the orange look of the oem's
looks more like a household incandescent bulb

EagleEyez · 01-24-2009, 10:30 PM

i had mine put in yesterday... i bought red signal lights for rears from autolumination

first of all i'm disappointed both the front and back ones are too dim. you can see at night but in the day time when the sun is out in full blast, you cant see it flash which IMO is fracking dangerous.

the red rear signal lights as some people have pointed out already have a hint of orange which to me is garbage. i'm putting in my stock yellow ones when i have time.

IonZephyr · 01-29-2009, 12:42 AM

Just cleared mine out yesterday.
