Yes you can.
So you want orange parking lights and brake lights...the cops there don't care about those violations?

IS IT A CONVERSION, OR JUST BULBS

*bisquik65* · 01-29-2005, 08:59 PM

It has about a foot of wire on it and you can mount it pretty easy.. I will go out to the garage and get them and post a pic for you.. Give me a few minutes,Erick

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-29-2005, 09:01 PM

THANKS, I FOUND SOME THAT ARE DIRECT REPLACEMENTS

Here is a pic . If you use those bulbs.you will need an electronic flasher..

mblackburnjr · 01-29-2005, 11:22 PM

Just a quick bit of trivia. You can also replace the 1156/57 w/ the heavy duty version 2056/2057. I know napa carries these for big trucks! They are supposed to last longer.

**kwmech** · 01-29-2005, 11:47 PM

If you put an A on the end of those numbers it becomes the amber colored version. Brake lites need to be red--I think that is federal law.

MAYBE, BUT AROUND HERE, ESPECIALLY W/ ANTIQUE TAGS, NO ISSUE

Luv,

The law states that they have to be red in color. No other color is accepted in the TCA. I stop these idiots with the weedeater cars all the time with green and blue bulbs in their cars. But like you said unless you run into a real a$$ they'll probably give you a warning if you play dumb. If you're like me you'll probably at least test it. HA HA.

5150 · 01-30-2005, 03:33 AM

One more thing. I also plan on putting 4 blue 194's in my clear sidemarkers. TN law states that you can have blue and red as long as they are not flashing, so that you don't look like the po po or fire. I tell these kids around here all the time that the best thing is just don't show the bulbs when they put that crap under their cars.

I'VE SEEN TONS OF SHOW CARS W/ ANTIQUE TAGS, NON DAILY DRIVER
TYPES, RUNNING EVERY COLOR BUT RED, I TALKED TO A BUDDY OF MINE
THAT'S A TROOPER, AND HE SAID SINCE IT'S A NON DAILY DRIVER HE'S
POSITIVE I WOULD NEVER HAVE A ISSUE, I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY.

These are the best I have ever used, plus, they are made in Newton, Mississippi. They are WAY brighter than those other ones you get at the local Autozone. And you can get almost any color you want, including the "194" side bulbs!
