Can Amber LED's be installed in the rear like Corvette?
I want to give my Camaro SS the full LED treatment. One thing I always liked was the Corvette's amber rear turn signals. Can this be accomplished with LED bulbs?
Any makers or recommendations? |

I think the rear turn signals are already LED... Or are you talking about replacing those LED's with amber?.

I believe there's a few countries in Europe that require amber turn signals not the typical red American versions i'd check with a dealer in one of those said countries and see if they can order it for you. Though not entirely legal in the states it's not entirely illegal either.

I believe the European tail light standard is 3 red brake lights and 2 amber turn signals, because the 2016+ Camaros use the same lens for both the brake and turn they might have to get creative to meet European inspection. Switch back LEDS (Turn from red to amber) might be an option for Europe and you if that's the look you are going for. Another option might be to convert the existing back up bulb lens to an amber turn signal and mount new back up lights by the license plate.
I don't think you want to mess with permanently changing your brake bulbs to amber, I'm sure you'll get in trouble for that eventually, even if the police don't harass you. All it would take is one idiot with a decent lawyer to rear-end you and now your at fault, at least partially.
