Okay, I'll simplify it for you. If you have an amber bulb as Jeremiah does, when the lights are off, you get an amber reflection when you look at the diffuser because the reflector magnifies the color of the bulb. If you have a blue bulb like Nathan does, your reflector appears blue when the lights are off.

Now, do you see why I ordered the Titan bulb? The bulb is amber, so when the blinker is on, the light is amber. Since the bulb is titanium plated, you get a clear appearance when you look in the reflector and the blinker is off.

Right now, my reflector is slightly amber because I painted my bulb with an orange Sharpie. It looks geekie.

About $7.49. I ordered from SpeedZone, but you can order here if you want.

Either way, they're on back order from Japan. The bulbs aren't too difficult to change.

You get in the wheel well and unsnap a couple buttons and pull back the shield or whatever you call it. The procedure is in your owner's manual.

You can do it anytime.
