So much work to remove the rear bumper just to amber out the rear turn signals. Looks like I have a new project this weekend.

you don't have to remove the rear bumper just to gain access to the turn signals bulbs, unless you're talking about taking the entire turn signal housing down and painting it a different color.

I just finished installing stealth silver turn signal bulbs. Thanks for the helpful write-up. As you said, the one trick is removing the tail lights without breaking off the two tabs (especially the one at the front corner). I found it helpful to slide a strap behind, and pull straight out as shown below.

Also before and after shots of the turn signal bulbs in case anyone's interersted.

I want some white led lights above the license plates. Can someone tell me what bulb I'll need. Is it easy to replace?

I have some condensation in my actual taillight. I haven't really looked into it myself but is there an easy way to get into there? I'll try tomorrow and might discover how easy it was but I might as well ask before I jump into anything... thanks for the help.
