I am really tempted to try my hand at the amberdectomy and ordered silver bulbs for the front as a way to convince myself. Now do I load up on my normal amount of caffeine or go cold turkey for two days before trying this. Either way my hands shake. Let's just say I would make a very bad brain surgeon.

I have them in there rear only. They're very nice.
I too would steer clear of anything with the painted up glass + triangle of orange. The orange can still find a way to reflect at certain angles.

The "clear" Sylvania (or maybe GE?) lights I bought actually appeared green-ish and blue-ish. Not cool.

Dr. Henry has all those bulbs. All that is missing from the pic is the silver bulb that blinks amber for the side marker.

triangle?? wtf? Ive never painted a triangle and they still blink 100% orange. Maybe they put too much paint on, a light mist just to silver it is enough. Id say a half second burst from above and one to the sides.

are the rear tails easy to get at? i haven't tried to take mine out... i want to put these bulbs in though. i have upgraded 03+ tails, but I still have the orange bulbs in there and you can see a lot of orange just like that pic above...

i looked inside my rear trunk and noticed a weird round shaped thing that looked like a nut of some kind that would unscrew and then it looked like if i pulled on the carpet it might come off, but I dind't try it.

is this in the manual? bulb replacement? if so - just tell me to look in teh manual!
