PIAA Mirror Orange bulbs?

Anybody use these before?

I like the clear turn signal look and all but I liked the orange color that the stock lenses had going on. I am talking to Jason B., and of course he can get anything imaginable so I am trying to decide on what I should get from him next.

I've been reading about the chromed out bulbs that light up a dark orange...those sound pretty good to me.

But I've also been looking at the PIAA Mirror Orange bulbs...which run a hefty $34.95 from him.

Anybody have any experience or seen these before??

i have heard that you can buy standard orange bulbs, and get overspray from silver paint on them and have the same effect as the $35 dollar lights.... except only $5 for bulbs and a can of paint

when you do go for the piaa orange mirror check the prong angles. they have 180 degrees (normal) and for some reason 270 degrees. i tried to order them before from a local parts dist. and i got the 270s on the first try.

Gete LED's They come in orange, I'm pretty sure, and you'll never have to replace them or their fuse ever again. I am SOLD on the whole LED thing. They definately are every bit as good as the ad's claim.

You can also do that, not quite as good, but it will work.

Starting on step 2 I think.
