Alternative To LED Turn Lamps

Recommended Posts

I think the majority agrees that amber turn lamps can look gaudy. I feel that way especially since I own a white Fusion. However, LED turn lamps can also be a bit of a pain, since most times you have to install a LED suppressor. It'd be nice to have a pop-in option that would give you the amber glow you need for DOT compliance yet blend in with the reflector, right?

I managed to get ahold of a pair of chromed 3157 turn lamps from a source I've used in the past called AutoLumination. With shipping, the pair cost me roughly $11. They are an exact OEM fit and, as you can see from the pic above, blend perfectly into the reflector, giving you the uniform look you're probably seeking in your headlight assembly. How bright is it?

Here's a pic with the lamps in PARK mode. As you can see, they're plenty bright and give a full amber glow. In this case, $11 when a long way and labor was virtually nill. I say virtually because getting to that right turn lamp is a bear due to all that AC plumbing in the way.

 

I had these on my Lincoln LS. They were DOT compliant and worked well. They eliminated that "egg yolk" look and avoided the hassles of LED drop-in lamps.
