If you want it blink orange and keep that clear/chrome look, they (not sure who) make a bulb that blinks orange/amber but looks like a chrome bulb.
Just a warning, I used a bunch of these on my Integra and they burn out FAST. Waste of money IMO.

Any pics of a "naked" (w/o diffuser) AP1? I saw a Sebring in person that looked great, but I'd love to see some other colors. Preferably the most beautiful color, spa...

I am in the process of having my lights cleared now. I was the lucky sole that won a free headlight clearing at last years WTD event! Anyway, go to lightlens.com to buy bulbs, and you can get your headlamps cleared by Wingman through Rick's Signature Accesories. He does a professional job and you avoid the scary part of baking your light assembly. wingman has done it often and knows how to do it well. Anyway, I am getting the Chromed amber bulbs and chrome hype white bulbs for the assembly. It is really the only good answer to keeping the "orange" from bleeding through when the lights are off. (IMHO).

when I get this done, I will post some pics. By the way, Ricks site has a whole step by step instructions for removing and dissassembling your lights. Good info from good people.

superbrightleds.com is the bomb! I got all my leds there. They also sell the resistor you need to get rid of the hiperblink. Only problem is, their colored bulbs will have colored housings, even though the leds are clear (i.e. amber leds come in a clear amber housing).

jeez all you people who buy "chrome" bulbs that burn out in 20mins.... just buy regular orange bulbs and spray them silver...works perfectly!

Here's a pic of my cleared AP2 headlights....

[QUOTE=NFRs2000NYC,Jan 15 2006, 11:26 PM]Get the PIAA LED 168 bulbs, they are the brightest.

Also, the link you provided, that place blows.
