Just put 99-00 tails on my 96 hatch, the turn signal bulb is 7440 and clear, seems they dont make 7440 in amber, so whats everyone do for their turn signal??

PIAA makes them in amber. If that's too expensive try some 7440 Amber LED's

 

30 bucks for amber bulbs... , the LED are cheaper but do they look bad?

 

you can get some at autozone. just take your stock bulb and find one that has the same type of connection. no need to pay attention to part #'s.

 

Yeah no other bulb has the same connection as the 7440 at least in amber, at advance auto parts..

 

bump

 

where's everyone with a 99-00 converted hatch?

 

if it's like most turn signal bulbs it's probably an 1156 or 1157 depending on if it stays on and blinks or just blinks (single and dual filament)

 

i just used reg. old red spray paint and brushed it on with a brush from like kindegarten paintng like 3 coats nice and red

 

its a 7440 bulb bro, not a 1156 or 57, and most auto parts stores dont make 7440 in amber, so I guess most people are painting the bulbs...guess thats my next project. Thanks tuck'd, anyone else who has did this could let me know what they do to thanks!

 

I had the same problem with my civic coupe tailights conversion. They would blink white. I bought the led one's from ebay but they were fast blinker and I didn't know that before I bought them. Go to a art and craft store,ask them for glass paint,and then just buy a brush. That is what I did and it work cool. I tried using orange spray paint but they would blink red. Good Luck

 

they do make amber one filament bulbs. I'm using them now, i think sylvania makes them.. i'll go check now and now I'm back.

haha.. you got mad at that guy that said 1157's and guess what.. the amber bulb im using for the turn signal in the back with 99 tails are 1157's!!!!!

Paypal me 2bucks

 

i had some little red rubber covers over the bulb. they sell at autozone.

 

get the sylvania silverstars: http://www.sylvania.com/Consum...ights/

I got my hands on a cheap set of 99-00 tails so, couldn't pass it up.

Going out to buy paint today....

 

I got my 7440's in amber at Napa. I wasnt happy about spending $15 on them when the clear sell for $5.
But with white (and the blue bulbs that came in my car), you couldnt see the turn signal during the day.
