white markers = Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) parts.....easily available from several sources here....I put amber'd 'stealth' bulbs in my clear markers,and I then removed (w/a bit of aggro)the factory marker's internal reflector to ensure even light distribution....

^ultimate thread revival...........lol

yeah, i have stealth bulbs and they look great, you won't even know that they blink amber when they're off but when they do turn on, they're about 85% as bright as stock

I have PIAA mirror orange bulbs (their version of stealth bulb) and they are actually brighter than a stock amber 7440. They are a little more spendy than other stealth bulbs though. I don't have any pics, sorry. Here's what the package looks like:

i have these bulbs as well and i agree on the pricey part. they really are much brighter than stock and look awesome lit up. i only have a pic of the rears right now but i have them in the front as well.

when the bulb is not on, it has silver lining to it; hence you don't get that ugly orange reflection inside your lamp housings.

stealth bulbs are almost as bright as stock and provide a clean chrome reflection in the housing when not lit. much better than the amber reflection. just don't go getting the autolumination ones.

I too am looking to get rid of that nasty amber reflection.

It sounds like LEDs arent the best bet for turn signals, and it looks like StealthAuto.com has stealth bulbs for $25 a pair and PIAA has their mirror orange for $47 a pair?

As far as stealth bulbs for the clear corners, anyone have any input? Would amber LEDs from superbrightleds.com be good or should I go with some other 194 bulb? (I have heard bad things about autolumination and would like to stay away from them)

i run the stealth 194's up in front and I'm really happy with them. They're plenty bright at night and in the day time they look great

I have had the chance to run both stealth bulbs, and some generic 4-LED clustered ambers (unknown brand) in my clear corners (#194); I would have to say that the illumination quality is indifferent between them. Granted, I did not take out the reflective plastic mirrors in my clear corners, so I don't know what they'd look like without. My presumption is the stealth bulbs would be better in that case because the LEDs would probably be more directional-prone, and only illuminate towards the rear whereas with the mirrors removed, the stealth bulbs would shine all around.
