Amber bulb replacement for '02 4runner rear turn light

I just installed the rear '02 lamps in my '99 4runner (looks very cool, btw), but the amber bulb that comes with the assembly is visibly amber. I'm looking for a replacement that is similar to the APC Titan or Piaa Mirror Orange (cleaner look), but I can't tell what kind of bulb it is. I can tell that it's not a 7440 (it says it's 27 watts not 21 watts), but what is it and does anyone know if there are any amber replacements that are mirrored?

Ok, due to demand, these are now on the website. These are for those with 01-02 tails on their 4Runner. Also, these are the best quality and last! In stock and can ship pretty quick.

Direct link.

Jason, it appears as though the front turn signals on my 2002 have integrated orange lenses. Am I correct? Do I have to change out the lenses to convert to the chrome bulbs?

Oh...my receiver hitch brake light was destroyed last week when a teenager was not paying attention and slowly nudged me at a stop sign last week. I thought you would get a kick out of that.

Thanks!

No, if you have stock bumper lenses now, you actually have an orange reflector inside them with a clear bulb. To get rid of the orange, you'd have to buy the totally "clear bumper lenses" I sell, which have that orange reflector removed and replaced with clear. Then, if you want, this is the only time you'd want chrome bulbs, to go in those new lenses to make them even look clearer. Most just stick with our clear bumper lenses, as that does the trick.

I've been searching high and low for some 3157's in chrome or even better, clear.

Anyone know any good places to order bulbs? I can't find any.

Thanks DavidA!

That was the only site I came across in a couple days of searching that had the silver/amber non-LED 3157s!

Just ordered a set from Jason for the back and the front last night...they should be here before the end of the week.

Haven't found anything yet that Jason can't get or doesn't know about...
Can't say enough about his customer service! Just drop him an email and see for yourself
