Side Mirror Turning Light Bulb ...

martinf79 · 10-19-2012, 12:05 PM

ANyone know if you can change this (want to maybe get a white bulb as opposed to amber).

1 - What kind of bulb is it?
2 - Can it be changed?
3 - If so, how?

Can't seem to find anything in the manual.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've opened them up when changing the mirror caps to the carbon fiber, and the lights are actually LED. Not a simple replacement. Also since they can been seen in the rear, makes them illegal in CA. Just my $0.02.

Ah... got it. Many thanks. That helps. Going to change the egg yolk front turn signals to white, so figured I might do the same on the side blinkers. I guess I'll just leave them.
