sorry if this question is ridiculously simple but all i wanted to know is what size bulb for the blinker is?? i want to get some blue ones to match my truck but i'm not sure of the size and i've looked throughout the site but haven't found the answer.. thanks guys!

 

It's in your owners manual. Trevelyn has a sticky for the online version. By blue, you mean silverstar polarized bulbs? Most states(if not all) blue lights are illegal unless you have a special reason(volunteer firefighter).

 

well i was lookin to make my blinker look like this..

 

Yeah, silverstar polarized bulbs.

 

well i looked in my manual and i found two numbers -- 3457 and 194 and then i googled for the bulbs and found them but none in either of those two sizes. so i'm confused. are those the wrong sizes or did i just look in the wrong direction? if you know, can you please direct me to where i need to order these bulbs? thanks man

 

3457 is the blinker inside the headlight housing. 194 is the corner light, it doesn't blink unless you've done the blinker mod.

Use that site, scroll down and it has a cross reference chart that shows what bulbs will work for what. Both 3457 and 194 are on there.

 

I picked up these at the local Pep-Boys and i love them. especially at night when it lights up a sexy blue

 

thanks sean.. i like those a lot too. they give the front of your truck a sweet look.. BUT are they legal? i know the Silverstars light up amber so they're legal. how much were your bulbs?

and for anyone that is familiar with the Silverstars:
would THESE fit an '01 Ranger?

 

In CA your front blinkers must be either Amber or white. So keep that in mind while shopping.

 

gotcha.. thanks D. do you know if those Silverstars that i put the link to would fit my truck? they are 3157's but that's the closest i found to 3457

 

the 3157 is a taillight bulb....

there's a start. i got mine from autozone...

 

yeah i realized that once i took a look in the manual again haha. i acutally just ran down to autozone as well and found them but i had no money so i'll probably go back in a couple days and pick them up. thanks for your help travis

 

hey travis i just noticed that you did the blinker mod on your truck.. was it hard? i think it's ridiculous that the blinker isn't more visible for people to see from the side so i was thinkin about doing it (depending on the difficulty).

 

it's easy, a couple of taps and two feet of wire. i did it in five minutes, while it was raining...

 

yeah the fact that it lights up blue is illegal in CA, but i have not once been cited for it (even after reciving 2 other tickets) So i cant say 100% but 99% for sure can say u'll be fine

 

And by the way, you can use a 3157 in place of the 3457. :)

 

yeah well i was thinkin the silverstars cause they give a little bit of a blue tinge but they are still legal BUT i really like the look of the blue bulb.. decisions, decisions... haha. i leaning towards the blue bulbs but we'll see. how much were they?

thanks again for all your input guys!

 

You install mods at the weirdest times....you said you installed that manik in the dark, lmao...

Rocky

 

^^^lol, i did. and right as i was torque'in the bolts it started to rain. when i got something in my head, i just have to do it then and there or odds are likely that it'll never get done.

i read the blinker mod thread and just had to do it, then and there. i'm like the post man. rain nor snow will stop me from modding....

 

haha well i'm definitely lookin to do the blinker mod. i'm gonna wait till i get my clear corners (they're in the mail) so it will just be a one-stop job. i think i'm gonna pick up some blue blinker bulbs as well and throw those suckers in when i install my clear corners and do the mod.

 

i just put the polarized silverstars on mine.... i like them alot....they really add a custom touch to the front.

 

Be careful and check your state laws... I was pulled over on new years for having blue corner lights. A little thing known as "impersonating an emergency vehicle". Any blue, green or red "flashing" lights are illegal (at least they are in GA). Even turn signals because they blink...

I only got a warning, but the trooper said it could have been a $250 fine, he said some places the fine is like $1,000...

 

ive heard that too.

 

Man, no one listens to me.....
