Yep.

What are you guys using? DEPO? Now that I think about it I can probably get DEPOs from Keystone discounted thru my shop.

german eBay? I've seen oem's there from time to time. Not so much lately. Not a big fan of depo clear tails

Yeah I just found those too. I'll wait and see if someone on here has some they want to give up first. I don't have an eBay account. My girl does but she won't buy anything out of the US.

Abrahams doesn't sell HELLA clears do they? Isn't it like that TYC brand?

I'm sure they're some garbage falsely advertised as OEM like all the other junk he sells.

Not to thread jack but does anyone run clear bulbs with cleartails/front corners, or does everyone run orange by what i believe is the law

Chrome bulbs. Basically an amber bulb coated in a chrome-look paint or whatever. Looks invisible in the light housing, but lights up amber.

You can BUY stealth bulbs but they're a huge ripoff at like $30 a pair. I just bought the normal orange clear ones and used some chrome spraypaint it's the same thing. I've used both and $2 is much better than $30 for some bulbs.

The "stealth bulbs" are actually just a brand name. And yeah, $30 for a pair of bulbs is ludicrous. The bulbs in the picture I posted above are $3 a piece.

Nice. I made the mistake of buying official stealth bulbs when I first got my clears. what site did you get those off of? Or did you just buy them local?

I run clears bulb but I get an orangy glow from them. And I don't know any cops, and with my new subs I won't be making any friends

I have clear bulbs in clear front signals. They look yellow next to my HIDs though. Anyone ever used LED bulbs, i like the crisp on off blinking. Might not be worth the turn signal message that it will cause though

bavauto sells these, doesn't say they are HELLA but they may be. Pretty pricey though.

Not sure what your problem is......
We do not claim that all our lights are OEM........
Please tell me what "junk" we sell.........
Your photo from nicedeals.co.uk are not Hellas, they are Depo........
