I thought the requirement for turn signals was for them to flash amber... but maybe I'll try the plain ones out. It should be fine since I have side markers that flash yellow. Black '99 Contour SVT.

Ultimately I believe this to be the best option, but it costs about $60-70 to do it right because of the resistor that is required to slow the blinking of the LEDs. I'm too cheap for that... and too broke too! Black '99 Contour SVT. Stereo Upgrades & Cosmetic Enhancements ...Always clean, Always mean.

But seriously, I think they have enough of a tint to them that they are fine...they are not obnoxiously bright. 1998 T-Red CSVT (1492 of 6535) Born on 5/30/97 KKM 4.6L TB with custom "Throttle Optimizer" Bassani Exhaust NP-Tuning Sniper Intake Pipe Fog Light Mod with 885's Clear Corners Stereo - Oh Yeah!
