Default Turn signal bulb & city light

if you have cleared out OEM headlights for an EM2...
What kind of bulb do you have for your turn signals?? I'm looking for the brightest orange. I'm getting sick of the previous owner's blue turn signals, lol.

Also, wondering what kind of bulb brand for the city light?

Lightlens.com (as well as other sites) offers several types of amber 7443 bulbs for your turn signals. As for the city lights, they're just standard 194/168 clear 5 watt wedge bulbs.

wow, that site looks like it's .... home made , home driven business. lol. any other recommendations? kinda hard to navigate through that site, just need some good branded super bright orange ones (for turn and city light) I recall seeing some raybrig bright orange for an EJ once on cardomain with CTR headlights. it was nice. hehe

LED lights designed for halogen sockets are things i've had very bad results with. Especially small ones like that. You're better off getting a normal bulb because the light dispersion is not good.

stay away from LEDs...I have the 18 LED 7443 bulb....I bought headlights without insert so I was forced to buy these LEDs...
Ive been trying to find amber cover for the bulbs...they have blue and red but not amber...
I saw blue and red 7443 bulbs but not amber 7443 bulbs...
you can try to spray paint the bulb and/or get those amber tapes...

I actually got mine from cardomain.com or some such, because i was looking for a particular dark amber color, but they don't seem to carry bulbs anymore.

Those should provide a good starting point.
