I was in the same dilemma when i was ordering my invisibulbs (stealth bulbs).

I chose to go with amber flash some members/friends convinced me that white would look to import tuner-ish.....

I am happy with my choice

GL with you decision...

LoL, wonderful timing.

Do you think the ones I posted will fit? Also, these say "non polar" does that indicate I do not need a resistor?

You will need a resistor. And your bulb type probably isn't listed. Its actually a wedge bulb. Your best bet is take out the turn signal for your car first before you order it. You can order the bulbs from ebay or a vendor on this site.


Let me know if u need any help, My posts with the LED turn signals is pretty self explantory and anyone can do it. =)


good luck!

That is in-acurate.....the sylvania site is wrong, the front takes a wedge type bulb...I think the number is 3457 or something like that. I ordered some invisibulbs from eBay using the sylvania website number and then when I went to change out the fronts I found out the hard way there was a wedge buld up front.

Best to check 1st!
