Looking to get invisible bulbs to replace the orange ones in the headlight and side markers. Not sure what kind or where to get them. If you are familiar with where to get good quality ones at, please post. Thanks!

The bulb will only change the look of it when its off. The reflective amber will still be there and when the signal bulb is on, it'll still be amber.

There's a few topics on this. Try to find it in the search and you'll understand what I mean.

So whats the difference between LED bulbs and the stealth bulbs? Is there a number or name to identify them, both Side marker and for the turn signal bulb in the headlight?

I have Solaris bulbs from Bimmian. They sell two different types... one that blinks amber and the other that blinks in a white/blue color. You can get a set of 3 (front, side marker, rear) for about 60 bucks. They're really easy to install.. but if I had to do it over I'd just buy the side maker ones. They are the only ones you can really notice.
