Does anyone know the part number to the AMBER bulb you can see in our headlight/corner light assembly?

Good DJ...thats what I thought...what is the diff between the NA and the other? this is the duel filement bulb? Lights and stays amber when on as a running light, then the second filement is the turn signal.

Do you have to remove the inner wheelwell to change that amber bulb?

3157NA is an amber bulb.

3157 is clear.

Hey Dave...as long as you are replacing, this would be a good opportunity to lose the orange colored bulb with a silver titanium looking bulb that still glows amber as required.

This link is the old thread I started...but the picture link is lost somewhere in the old gallery Logan recovered.

Just a thought.;)

The Sylvania SilverStar 3157A is a good mod...gets rid of the "fried-egg" effect. I like mine...

Thanks Barry,
Thats exactly why I asked. I have an extra set of the Stealth Bulbs as they are called someplaces. I used them for the new clear lens setup on the 06 GT.

Do you have to remove the inner wheel well to change that amber bulb?You could if you wanted too but not necessary and extremely cumbersome considering you have to remove a butt load of stuff. Remove headlamp and there is a screw or two holding the parking lamp assembly in.

I installed these recently...much better than that 3157NA that was in there...they sort of fade into the housing now just showing a hint of blue at the right angle.

Thanks for the direction, took me all of 10 minutes to swap bulbs. Here is why I was asking....
