wonder was it looks like....
but don't you want the yellow cuz it matches that lil reflector on the sides of our headlight assembly?

dono bout the rest of the country.. but in NJ... its a hefty fine.... 230 smackers for my bud who got busted last week. I dono if it was just for the signals.. cuz he had a few other illegal things done to his car..
NJ SUCKS>> no tint... no lights... nothing!!!!!
oh well i have mine on anyway... gonna vinyle the covers so they look orange in the day.. but they'll be white at night!! hehe

The law is that the light coming out of the bulb needs to be some shade of yellow.

Not the bulb.

I'm thinking of installing these:

uh huh... gotcha.. cuz my bulbs are blue.. but light up superwhite..
havent had time to change them yet...
gonna buy the ones u posted on cdomain
ty for th link

is it possible to replace the bulbs in the side mirrors? i thought i heard somewhere it was very difficult/damn near impossible to do it.. i could be wrong though.

while we are on the topic of bulbs. anyone know the style bulbs that are in the foglights? i havnt been able to find info on it anywhere and i dont really wanna crawl under my car while there is 2 feet of snow on the ground.

the silver stars look like the ones you posted but i just havent been able to find them in the right size, i think im just gonna buy the ones from car domain thanks for all the help!

yup your right... damn near impossible to do it...
its something like hardwired to it...
if you have the 650
buy the modified ones from tctunerz.

um, nah that's okay i'll pass on spending that much on a product that looks worse than the stock mirror turn signals and is still amber-colored anyway.


but yea that sucks.. wish they had just made little snap off pieces of plastic over the bulbs on the mirrors. :no:

good post.

i bought these. i think they might be OK.

You're worried about how the BULB looks? It's chromed so it blends in with the reflector. :doh:

Any updates on finding the silverstars?

i dont know anythingabout headlights. if was going to order one, is it xenon or halogen? or are they the same?

Def.inatly

Could be a sticky?

So we have to threads now of people looking for silvstar turn signals, that is valuable info if we ever find some. Does any one have pics of those LED lights installed from the earlier post, or at least feedback on them?

just bought these for the front turn signals... http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-Light~bulbs-Signal,Corner,Tail~and~accessories~bulbs-no-906.htm

and picked these up also for the reverse lights... http://store.racinglab.com/pixtremsupwh4.html

i hope they look good...

Yes actually I am.. if I'm going to all the trouble, time and $$ to change the mirror style, why would I want something that looks similar to stock? And I'd also not ever pay that much for side mirrors.. I'll wait till an easier work around comes about for simply changing the bulbs inside the mirrors.. or until someone comes out with some cute oh I dunno M3 style mirrors or something that look better anyway.

Any pics of theses installed? at night? day?

no, sylvania does not make stealth super coated 7440 bulbs. raybrig does though. they have them in 7440 for the tc front turn signal and also 194's if you want to try them for the running/accent lights.

here is a pdf of the current raybrig catalog. scroll down to page five to the accessory bulbs and you'll see the supercoats. they have them in two colors - silver/stealth and supercoat blue: http://www.spwindustries.com/109/raybrig.pdf

and this is the *only* place i can find that sells them: http://www.karfanatics.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=175

Don't mean to bump such an old thread, but figured I might as well put the information here. Philips also makes a diadem type bulb that appears silver but lights up amber. It is marketed under their SilverVision line of bulbs.

The tC's front turn signal comes in the 7440 size. 7440 bulb size is also equivalent to WY21W. A search on google will confirm this. Anyway, the UK site autobulbsdirect sells the Philips Silvervision in WY21W for $27 per pair including shipping. This is a much better price than PIAA bulbs which can be over $40 for a pair.

If anyone else wants them, here is the site:
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16461&cat=0&page=1

my front turn signals are blue and emit super white light..but lucky for me, i live in texas..and the law here is white OR amber light from the front turn signal. but too bad we still have our front license plate law..i took mine off anyways..hehe

by the way..i wish there was an easier way to clear out the corners on the tC...that orange reflector is soo damn ugly!

um, nah that's okay i'll pass on spending that much on a product that looks worse than the stock mirror turn signals and is still amber-colored anyway.

I think we may have a misunderstanding.

The chromed bulbs are for the turn signals in the headlights.

I can definately see now why you wouldn't want 7440 bulbs sticking out of your mirrors.

Good luck getting those to fit, by the way.

For anyone who's been paying attention, this is what the stock turn signal looks like:

This is what mine now look like, with the chromed bulbs:

Lit up:

Additionally, the 'bulbs' in the turn signals are LED's.

Someone mentioned the 'non-removable' cover on the mirror turn signal.

You can remove it, I've done it. I replaced it with a new OEM piece not too long ago.

I got my chrome bulbs off of ebay for about $7 a long time ago. They still light up amber.

I have the xc-7440a installed in my tC and they still burn amber.

I have the, "diamond-coat," version of Solaris' Invisi-bulbs; please see this link. (http://www.yoursciontc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6543)

They look like frosted silver (not chrome) when unlit, and then flow amber when lit.

The only place I know to buy them is from Bimmian. (http://www.bimmian.com/)

is there anyway to replace the orange reflectors too? or are we SOL on that one? I saw a modded tC at the autoshow here in chicago over the weekend. It had all white reflectors and lights on the front side and mirror signals. It looked soooo much cleaner than the orange crap. Looking to do that to mine... with minimal cost if at all possible.

Take a look at the pics of my car (click link in my sig) and you can see how it looks with tinted side marker lenses.

Got any links to a closer up or higher res photos? Its hard to see that one. also, is it street legal to smoke the turn lights like that? (i'm in chicago if that matters)

Those look way better than that ugly amber color. Was it difficult/expensive to change those reflectors to black? Does the light come through ok? again, is that legal to have that darkened?

If you're okay with baking open your headlamps to get access, then it's not really that hard. My suggestion is that while you're at it, install a set of Umnitza's DDE rings to dress it up a little. The darkness of the tint is dependent on you; since it's spray-on tint, the more layers you put on, the darker it gets. The legal requirement, as far as I can tell, is that it still reflects orange when hit with light.

i put ultra silverstars in my headlights and put superwhite bulbs in my turnsignals...the turnsignals look nice but they dont match the headlights..the turnsignals are a bright white...they also kinda look weird when not lit up cuz the bulbs is blue...

i really would prefer the silverstars, but you guys have listed some pretty good options.

(sorry for reviving an old thread but i'm still interested in these)

It'd be great if they came out with them because they'd be easier to find in stores. i wrote them asking if they had plans to make them... we'll see what they reply.

I'm looking at the silverstars for my front turn signals in my '08 tc headlights.

Want the bluish tint while keeping the amber light.

My local checkers/pepboys/autozones carry model numbers: 1156, 1157, 2057, 3057, 3157, 3457

The last three listed all look like they'd fit. Which one is it? Or do I have to order online?

why bump?? just search on ebay or something for chrome signals....7440 bulbs. theyre like 12 bucks and you dont see them at all until they light up like oem signals.

forget the silverstars, theyre blue anyway. looks bad.
