I was wondering, do you also have to change the light bulb to get them white instead of yellow, or is the sticker enough?

Can I interject here? Doesn't matter, I'll say it anyway. I've seen these stickers on some other members' cars and I have to say I'm not getting them - up close you can just tell that they're stickers...

The reflector is seperate from the blinker assembly so you would need a new bulb. The switch is very simple

That still looks 1000 times better than that orange reflector. And you really have to be very close to see it's a sticker. People who don't know about these cars would probably never figure it out if they saw it in a parking lot because they just don't pay as much attention.
