I want to get as much of that amber color out of the headlights as possible without breaking the bank with a retrofit. I have seen the pics of the Silver Bulbs posted on here and really like the clean look, but was wondering how LED's 3457 would look? There are soo many different types of 3457/3157 LED, How do I know what to look for?

Get the silver bulbs, they are cleaner in the reflective housing. LEDs in turn signals may make your blinking super fast like those ricers because of the different wattage LEDs have. The LEDs may be more expensive on the other hand because you will have to get the ones with multiple LEDs to be more effective with the reflective housing.
