Are you going to bake the light apart or break the yellow lens from the back and shake out the parts?

7506 or 7507 will work just fine. 1156 is a smaller wedge bulb for the small reflector on the sides (smaller bulb)

Have you had it apart to look at it? I found ti pretty easy just to bake them apart when I did my retrofit for the headlights. If it doesn't come out like you want it is always a backup plan. The light looks just fine without a lens in it, I only left my yellow one in becasue the entire headlight was blacked out inside and needed to be broken up in color.

Need clear bulb

I have the clear lense in my head light housing on a 2011 MCS, but have the amber turn signal bulb. Does anyone have a link or part number for a clear turn signal bulb to eliminate the amber color that shows through my clear lenses ?

Thanks ahead of time for your help...

Just received my turn signals today. Chrome plated amber bulbs. Look clear but flash amber. Bought them on eBay. Just search chrome 7506.

before / after pics

Got my Solaris chrome bulbs in the mail - pictues are below. Took me less than 10 minutes to change them for both sides. The new chrome bulbs blink amber as bright as the OEM ones.
