Default What Bulb does IS-F taillight use?

I been trying to purchase a set of light bulb that looks like this , blue tint but outputs white lights

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

for my IS350 with IS-F taillight, for Turning singal light. However 7440A does not seem able to fit..
Members with IS-F taillights please give advice!

Not sure if I understood it correctly, white turn signal lights? Amber lights are safer and nicer IMO.

Yeah i want white turn singal lights, also due to the light bulb is blue tinted. So, you can actually see the color blue when it is not lighted. I think the Amber bulbs i have right now, looks unattractive.

I have the white bulb, wanna trade? but you're better off getting the yellow. Cops will ticket you if you have white turn signal.

Mine did not come with OEM light bulbs, so i actually bought a set from kragen. They are Amber tinted, so you can see the Amber color reflecting in the clear box. Also, i did not know cops give out tickets for white turning signal lights. As two of my friends had it on their m3 for a long time already, and they had never gotten any tickets.

^ you all have been lucky I guess. I did get fix ticket for using white parking light on my Accord many years back. Have you considered chrome turn signal lights? It is chrome when not flash (also make your clear tail looks a bit dark/gray tinted), but turn amber when flashes.

they been using them for over 1 year already, gotten multiple tint tickets, modified exhaust tickets, broke brake light tickets, but never turn signal... guess the cops don't care about it over here. Anyways, anybody know what bulbs fits the IS-F taillight?

If you dont want that orange reflection get the chrome ones...

I believe the IS-F turn signal is a 992 bulb.
