Go to RPM and get the LED corner lenses. They look fantastic and are awesome looking at night. Worth every penny.

Search for any 'chrome bulb' on ebay or google, That should get rid of the orange look. Might as well look at them for the taillights too.

Here's what I was going from:

I believe the sockets are interchangable between 2357 and 1157.

My only thing would be that I'd want the amber light output, which the chrome ones have. White bulbs wouldn't technically be street legal. Post pics when you're done.

Hello there guys! I have upgraded my bulbs to LEDs and I was wondering how I can stop making them blink so fast by putting a resistor of some sort I guess is what I need. Can you link me to the exact place to purchase what I need? Or tell me the right model and name. I would love you guys forever! And I love outrunning G37S with my MS6 :) Just got the side clear lights and hyper white turn signal bulbs & reverse lights all around car inside too and out.

I just put ceramic pads & slotted/drilled brakes too which are sweet!

I'll post pics soon :)
