Yup, it will work :tup:

i actually bought them and tried it today and they did not work in the front. the front turn signal bulbs are different than the back ones.

spray paint your amber bulb silver using some enamel silver paint. imho not worth spending extra money on this mod. it has the same effect. white while not lit, amber when lit.

mask off the contact area.
spray 2 light coats
dry 30min or so (quicker if matte silver)
install.
enjoy.

just try it. :)

thanks for the tips guys

btw, are you removing the orange reflector inside the headlamp? i see no point of doing white bulbs unless you remove that as well... :confused:

khern11 09-08-2010 02:40 PM

im afraid of opening up my headlights...so no i wasnt really planning on it. I just think it will look a little cleaner without the orange bulb. Its a quick simple mod that makes a difference in my eyes.
Im doing little mods to keep myself away from doing the big ones and spending all that money...

i suppose it could look good. i'd do the tails too if you're going to do the front amber bulbs to silver. :)

$5.25 (testor's spray paint silver) and you can do all four. :p

i actually bought the bulbs and they only work in the back so i left them on. i guess ill spray paint the oem ones and take a before and after pic.

On my previous car yep. Worked great.

I haven't done it on my Z. The amber doesn't bother me these days. :D

Did you use the 7443 front bulb? How did it work?

According to this:
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

It states the front bulb is a 7444NA which doesn't come up with anything.

Is the 7444 and 7743 compatible?

I hate buying bulbs that don't fit... lol

A few years late here but someone might stumble upon this thread and find this useful:

7443 T20 wedge light bulbs, will replace the following bulb size: 7440 7441 7444 992 W21W.
