I'm upgrading the headlights and parking lights on my 01 f250 to the 02 style and was needing to know if the turn and corner bulb is these and are they both amber?

 

Same bulb number and are they both amber?

 

If you have 3157A bulbs already, then it's the same bulb. If it's a 3157, then buy a couple of -A', as they are amber in color and the basic bulb is "white" (clear).

The corner assemblies are mostly clear with a small amber reflector portion on the bottom/side.

I'd change the corner reflectors to the newer style at the same time, but that's just opinion.

So I use my clear bulbs?

 

Nope.....If you use clear bulbs then your turn signals will be white.
You can get a pair of AMBER (orange) bulbs at the part store for about $5.
If you give them your year and model for truck, they will probably show the regular clear bulbs. Just tell them you need the same bulbs but in AMBER, not clear.

 

That's what I was thinking. I appreciate the help fellas

 

I used the clear corners, like those, from APC....nice.

 

Or just tell them you have a 2002.

 

When turn signals first became a standard item on automobiles, the front "blinkers" were white, not amber. The rears were red, not amber.

A few years later it evolved to what we have today, probably influenced by Europe.

I believe white fronts are still legal in the states. It is here in PRKalifornia.

Front turn signals in Texas can be either white or amber. Rear must be red.

 

Texas Transportation Code - Section 547.324:


§ 547.324. TURN SIGNAL LAMPS REQUIRED. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer shall be equipped with electric turn signal lamps that indicate the operator's intent to turn by displaying flashing lights to the front and rear of a vehicle or combination of vehicles and on that side of the vehicle or combination toward which the turn is to be made.

(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a passenger car or truck less than 80 inches wide manufactured or assembled before the model year 1960.

(c) Turn signal lamps:
(1) shall be mounted at the same level and spaced as widely apart as practicable on the front and on the rear of the vehicle; and
(2) may be included as a part of another lamp on the vehicle.

(d) A turn signal lamp shall emit:
(1) a white or amber light, or a color between white and amber, if the lamp is mounted on the front of the vehicle; or
(2) a red or amber light, or a color between red and amber, if the lamp is mounted on the rear of the vehicle.

 

Lol! Yes, amber will do in back as well. I totally missed that in my post. And I know better...
