Turn Signal Bulbs Blistering

[sailsmen]

My car is black with 20K miles.

When I detailed the exterior last nite I noticed both of the amber front turn signal bulbs were blistered in that the amber coating was bubling off the bulb.

Anyone notice this?

Wow, that's a new one on me. Had your car had less than 12k the dealer probably would have swapped them for you. Good thing they aren't expensive...I'm assuming you want to replace at this point?

What better opportunity to pitch the old queer orange ones for shiney titanium coated amber glows....mmmm....

Thanks Barry. Do oyu have the brand, part number and source of the titanium?

Here's the info from another thread...available at many aftermarket shops.

The bulb I speak of is made by "APC", American Products Co. part number 50.4138.B (3157 replacement) and is available from your local 'ricer' store or by logging onto www.4apc.net (http://www.4apc.net/) and the price was about $6 each.

They look far better than stock.
