Yesterday I went out to buy some amber bulbs to try in my clear corner lenses . Like a dumbass I bought the wrong socket type ... I 'did't' realize I needed those sloted type halogens . After I discovered my error it was too late to return them so I decided to try swaping them into my tail lights . The ambers I got were also double filament , so I figured they work ok .
After I replaced the driver side it looked brighter ... next I had a co-worker hit the brakes , and the difference was startling ! I swapped them both in , and will try them for a while to see if the person behind me is having petit mal seizures or not . If not , then they're keepers for sure .
And so I have to ask ... Why are the amber replacements such an improvement ? Two thoughts :
If anyone trys this let me know if you also recognize a difference .

And so I have to ask ... Why are the amber replacements such an improvement ? Two thoughts :
- First of all , pull your tail light bulbs and check them . The glass on at least one of mine was darkened furthest from the base . This I would imagine would diminish their effect .
- I was wondering if the amber light was able to filter thru the red lense any easier . Any physics whizzes or photographers in the crowd ?
If anyone trys this let me know if you also recognize a difference .
