Valance bulbs 68
« on: September 14, 2011, 09:53:14 AM »
After mounting the turn signal and side marker lights last night and turning them on I wondered whether the bulbs in the sockets should be amber tinted glass or the yellow painted glass? They would each give a different appearance.

Actually both versions you speak of are painted. The original bulbs were painted the amber color that was opaque whereas the newer bulbs are painted a different amber color that is very translucent.

Yes that is a good description...opaque and translucent. So the school bus yellow is correct. Thanks.
