steviej Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 My rear turn signals always reminded me of a fried egg. Many turn signal today are amber bulbs hidden in a reflective dish behind a small silver barrier so you can't see the amber bulb. The 02-04 ES was not so fortunate. We get these honker amber bulbs glarring at everyone. Sylvania makes a bulb called "Silvervision" but not in our format. PIAA just came out with the "Mirror Orange" bulb in our format but that still has an orange/amber sheen to it. I even tried to replicate the Silvervision bulb in my garage, but that was not great. Recently I found a silver coated bulb in the 7440 format. I installed them today and here are some pictures. STOCK BULBS STEALTH BULBS They flash well enough to be seen in the sunlight but not as bright as stock, but that was expected. However, the car looks really streamlined now. Not a bad alternative to the failed 05 taillight transplant. Between installing them and the StopTech stainless steel brake lines, I had a productive day off. steviej
SW03ES Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Where did you buy them Steve? I still have the ones you made installed in the rear ;) How hard was it to swap the fronts?
steviej Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 Where did you buy them Steve? I still have the ones you made installed in the rear ;)How hard was it to swap the fronts? ← I got them on www.stealthauto.com Talk to Todd if you have any questions. I bought three sets thinking if one blows or they are premature in their lifespan. Then i read the back of the package and they are guaranteed for life with free replacements. They are not as bright as stock but they are definately noticable. Since posting, i have also seen bulbs by APC called "Titaniums" that come in a 7440 config. The fronts were as easy to install as the rears. It is a tight squeeze to get your hand at the one by the battery, but very easy. So, if you want the third set I got, we can talk. steviej

Pics?? I just got rid of my 1998 GS300 and purchased a 2003 ES300 and I can't find many, if any, quality mods for the ES like I could for my GS. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I live in MA too.

The JDM chrome trunk bar was purchased online from: www.l-tunedparts.com It took about 20 minutes to install. here is a link to some pictures.. steviej
Lexusfreak Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 I have a set of the Stealth bulbs compliments of steviej that I am unable to use for my car. If anyone is intrested PM me & let me know. B)
steviej Posted June 8, 2005 Author Posted June 8, 2005 awh hell, If I knew you were going to sell them, then I would have taken them back just in case one of mine burns out. I figured you could be the nice guy at the next Toronto Lexus Meet and give them to a 2002-2004 owner should you meet one. steviej
Lexusfreak Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 They would be my compliments to whomever could make use of them of course ;) Did not intend to lead anyone to think they were 'for sale' :) Just wanted to clear that up to any other members in case there was a mis-understanding (which steviej & I have already). Wanted the 'record' to reflect that. B) If anyone want's them, they are yours.......just PM me your information.
