Mirrored Turn Signal Bulbs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

kdoske · 06-28-2009, 11:20 AM

I want to put mirrored turn signal bulbs in the front grill to get rid of the ugly amber in the reflector housing. The bulbs emit an amber color when on but they are coated with the same material used for one way mirrors so that the housing doesn't show amber when the bulb isn't on.

Anyone know the what the L&R turn signal bulb type is. I tried looking in the Wiki and the search but couldn't find anything?

I had these before. They give it a clean look.

ZNOLMT · 06-29-2009, 12:41 PM

Thats cool, I've used something like this before.

1bigcam · 06-29-2009, 06:39 PM

will the coating come off ??

kdoske · 06-29-2009, 07:22 PM

I had the bulbs for almost two years on my last car and they never did. Pretty sure its a form of electroplating to glass to do this so I think the coating is there for good.

Or at least for longer than the filament lasts.

Or are these LED based?

everyone I have ever seen is filament based.

slick rick · 07-06-2009, 12:58 AM

Where can I get those?

*TAG UR IT* · 07-06-2009, 01:10 AM

On my "to do" list.

Even more important.....clear side front markers.

I can't figure out how to remove the bulb. I removed the disconnect but I can't get the bulb out. I tried turning clockwise and counter clockwise and even while pushing it in but nothing.

Here are some pictures

Forgive me if you read the manual - there are directions on pages 9-37 for the base vehicle and 9-38 for "Up-level" RS with HID.

You getting them from here?

tjd24 · 07-07-2009, 03:56 PM

I took the plunge and ordered from stealth auto - $34.17 with shipping.

I googled "mirrored turn signal light bulbs" and saw their site and the other brand PIAA at Amazon (shows unavailable) and another site Auto Barn for $39.95 - packaging had Japanese or Chinese characters on it - no bias but Stealth Auto appears to be the way to go price wise and made in USA...

slick rick · 07-10-2009, 03:06 PM

I drove up to Stealth Auto today to pick up the blubs. They took a video of my car to show the before and after. I'll post the video once they give me the youtube link. Here are pictures I took that compares the stock bulb to the stealth bulb:

CRC · 07-10-2009, 03:25 PM

Way Better IMO.

kdoske · 07-10-2009, 03:43 PM

oh yes that's what im talking about, looks great.

DocHolliday · 07-10-2009, 10:07 PM

love them, nice work! Another things to wait for along with the car!

anthonybyram · 07-10-2009, 10:22 PM

That looks great! Neat idea!

Flynnaz · 07-10-2009, 10:58 PM
