Default Completely Clear Corners = Clear 3157 LEDs that flash Amber

Perfect for the person that has done the Clear Corner Mod or added Euro Housings and wants to keep the clear look, but wants BOTH an Amber Parking Light and an Amber Turn Signal.

This person was me. I wanted them for my A4, but no one had them, so I was stuck with the fried egg look after doing the CC mod. I approached a lighting company back in February about these and just now do they have them available. It was while waiting for these that I found out that they had the Yellow H7's for our Foglights - which are now discontinued (I'm checking for a replacement as we speak)

Anyway, because I'm dealing with a distributor, they unfortunately have a $10 shipping minimum (moving to $12 or $15 as of the new year), so it's not exactly financailly sound to get them directly in small quantities. So, I ordered 25 pairs from them. If you're interested in getting one of these sets, shoot me an email - I think it'll be ~$28 including shipping - but I'll have to check. It's a direct plug in - nothing different. Also, these have 14 LEDs, where some other vendors have <10 and also have a black plastic base where these are entirely clear.

I am very pleased with the outcome as they look great - finally, COMPLETELY clear corners, yet Amber flashing - WoooHooo!!! They are not quite as bright as the standard bulbs and flash quicker, but that's fine by me.

All of the pics can be found on my website (including pics while on/flashing):

Default Mark, is the flash rate significantly faster ?

That's my main concern...would be great if you can do some timing measurements !
