  • My clear corners bulb keep burnin out

    i got the clear corners from http://www.autodynamic.com and i have had 2 sets of the hyperwhite turn signal bulbs and both of them have blown out. They are part number 3157. Why in the world would two sets of bulbs burnout in 2 weeks. The last set burned out in one day. Is there a fix or am i doomed for ever.

    Make sure that there is no water inside the turn signal...I had this problem with my clear corners because the 3157 plug doesn't fit very well in the hole...it doesn't want to seal for some reason. I have also had bulbs blow but it took them about 3 months.

          hey slacker, ive seen some post of people with 98+ camaros with clear corners saying that their clear corner starts to melt becuase of the DRL bulb.

          I got the euro type of clear corner and ive had no problem whats so ever.
          My car has GPS trackin\',traffic alert,its own phone #,PS2,screens. And What da H3ll,When I Turn da key it says \"You\'ve got mail\"..... <br />I swear and promise.. I\'ve had more cars then Charlie Thomas.. bounces in a Monte\' that hopped.. Pimped old skoo Blazer on Chopz, Today Its a Camaro at all da plya spots.

            the hyper white bulbs you guys are running are to many watts, I had the same prob...goto pep-boys or whatever and just get some normal clear bulbs...Ive had mine in for 6 months now, and they look just fine...if yor one of the freaks that has to have the right color ok then ya yoru doomed, other than that.....its your choice....or if you wanna go for the euro style ones....if chanmging the clear corner out itself wasnt such a PITA Id biuy the euro ones too...

              Ok thanks guys. I figured it was something to do with the wattage.

                What about using an LED? LEDs don't burn as hot as regular bulbs. I know it takes something else to get LEDs to work though.
