*BRIGHT litebulbs for bumper lens**

**acco-R-d** · 03-03-2005, 04:20 PM

i just got silverstars, but now i want to replace the bumper lens bulb with a brighter bulb, if there is one.

**HostileJava** · 03-03-2005, 04:22 PM

I have the PCP bumper lights and LED bulbs, pretty damn bright.

**acco-R-d** · 03-03-2005, 04:25 PM

do u have to modify anything for the LED's...we are talkin about the the bumper lens which below the headlights rite?

**HostileJava** · 03-03-2005, 04:28 PM

No you don't have to modify anything, they sell stock LED replacements. I just picked up a pair for the brake and backlights as well. Each lamp contains 26 super bright LED's and is an exact replacent for the stock bulb. Just put the lamp # and LED in a search on ebaymotors.

**acco-R-d** · 03-03-2005, 04:32 PM

the number is on the front plastic part, rite? or do i have to take it out?

**HostileJava** · 03-03-2005, 04:44 PM

I don't remember the # but if you go to autozone.com you can look up the bulb #.

Looks like the right bulb, but you probably need to get an amber one to keep the lights legal if you have a clear lense.

what the chances that a cop would pull me over for those and would he fine me?

**HostileJava** · 03-03-2005, 05:16 PM

That depends on your local laws and the local law enforcement. I got pulled over several times in my hatch for blue lights.

**acco-R-d** · 03-03-2005, 05:18 PM

where were the blue lites

i cleared my lense, so now arent they illegal?

**HostileJava** · 03-03-2005, 05:43 PM

haha, the blue lights were all over and it really depended on my mood as to wich ones i turned on. If they are clear with white bulbs in them, then yes that is not legal. If they have amber bulbs it's ok.

**acco-R-d** · 03-03-2005, 07:06 PM

i think im just gunna leave'm clear and no briter bulbs...and besides, i was a pain in the a** just to get the orange reflector out.

**bullard123** · 03-04-2005, 05:54 AM

What do you want? A bulb with more wattage or a buld with brighter light? I'm sure you can find either one since they make different kinds of bulbs for any car.

dude, here is the thing. clear lenses should have amber bulbs in them to be state legal for turn signals. If you want to put just a yellow bulb in there, if you do get pulled over by a asshat, then u will get a ticket.

our bumper turn signals use a single filament, meaning, there is only one tip on the bottom unlike the twin u showed me on the ebay link. SO it wont work.

our car is touchy with the resistance, even an aftermarket light off the shelf that looks like ours, might not work since the resistance differs and our circuit detection module just goes nuts (atleast with the brake lights).

I got clear lense but have amber bulb inside, i dont need a brighter bulb in there since its not gonna light up my path and its pretty darn bright for other people to see even in snow, rain, fog or just in bright daylight. so just stick with the stock looking bulb, either yellow or amber (my recomendation, the glass looks orange) and u will be fine.

you should put some nice blue bulbs in ther, there totally legal and youll look so cool you might even be in F&F 3

**'A20A3'** · 03-04-2005, 02:32 PM

I had clear bumper lights on my '88 with clear bulbs and never got stopped for it, and a friend of mine has a '95 GS-R and it passed inspection with clear corners...i guess it does depend on where you live though...

**danronian** · 03-04-2005, 06:54 PM

My friend's car didn't pass inspection b/c his tail and front lights werent "DOT" approved but the place was just picky b/c I know of many other people that got there cars inspected with non "DOT" lights.

**Busted_Blue** · 03-09-2005, 02:23 PM

i have silver coated amber bulbs on mine. It still has the look of a clear bulb but when you turn it on it is amber. I like it.

I can grab the website I got it from if you like.

**acco-R-d** · 03-09-2005, 04:33 PM

i just want a briter bulb. i don't want the orange or amber look. i want like a bright white or a light shade of blue. if any body got a ticket for the bumper lense not being the right color, how much was the ticket?

**BITESIZE** · 03-09-2005, 05:37 PM

43 bucks for a ticket in idaho, plus it pisses cops off, I don't recommend non-amber lights!

**HondaBoy** · 03-09-2005, 08:39 PM

here's what i did for LED lights. its one of those amber marker lights that supposed to go on a trialer. for me, there was no modifications, no cutting. but for the 88-89 coupe and sedan bumper light there would be, so an 1157 LED bulb would be what would be easiest.

**mykwikcoupe** · 03-09-2005, 09:45 PM

hey about those leds. Ive heard that since the 3gee has those warning lights in the cluster about which lights are out especially in the rear tails. The leds send that into alarm or whatever. is this true? Have you had any problem like that?
