TYC tails -Amber is GONE

Well I took out the orange turn signal section of the TYC tails & switched them over to Red

Before...

Bulb swap...

After....

Pics make the Red look different, they look real RED in person...

I've been wanting to swap out the amber bulb with an LED unit. So both top and bottom will look the same. :D

Good job, bro!

I've installed the red LED bulb for them and they turn out much better red then using red filament bulbs...

Looks good dude! Yeah, I took out the amber bulb and put in another one that's chrome on the outside, so you can't see the amber when it's off, but still lights up that color for the turn signal.

This was an awesome idea Jimmbomb; I may have to try that on my super-white :-)

7440. I just used the original, clear bulb out of my OE tails.

Works great and they're super bright!
