you want to change the diffuser that covers the turn signal from orange to clear or smoked. you can change the color of the bulb but if a cop sees it he'll pull you over cause turn signals are supposed to be orange. go to ricks2k.com

You might also buy EDM, they're the same !
You need to use a clear bulb that lights amber !

The legal problem is the reflector. Not only does the turn signal need to flash amber, but there needs to be an orange reflector visible from the side.

It is easy enough to use an amber bulb in a cleared out housing, but pulling the reflector is a no-no in the eyes of Johnny Law.

Its also a PITA to put back to correct the fix-it ticket so I didn't bother. Clear sidemarkers with amber bulbs - legal.
Cleared front corners with amber bulb - not so legal.
