turn signal bulb

[lilrobo]

i have a 2015 genesis 3.8 and my left turn signal bulb went out , we do run the daytime running lights also. i do have the plat wrap warranty too , should i go back with stock bulb or go to something different ? there is a 50 dollar deductible on warranty ( dont know if its covered ) we have had the car 2 years and havent changed them.
thanks

The dealer will charge about $10 if you are in for service. There are a few thread here on changing out the stock bulbs.

You can avoid the whole issue just by making three rights and eliminate the need for left turn signal.

I have had good luck with amber Philips 2357LL bulbs. The stock bulbs are more as a 2357NA bubs, which burn out fairly quickly. The LL version is beefier and last a while hence the LL(long life) rating even used as DRL. NA are normal designed turn signal bulbs that do not hold up long when used as DRL.

My Philips 2357LL replacement has been going strong for about 2 years now without any issues when used as DRL for my hour commute from work every day.

LED 1157/2357 bulbs are hit and miss, and could still burn out due to excess heat when used as DRL; usually about the same time as a normal stock bulb.

Amber, actually a darker amber color than the stock yellowish/amber.

I prefer Amber only as well. VLEDs have a 3 year warranty. My installer told me "if a bulb ever burns out, come back to me and I'll install a new one."

Agreed. I like the deep amber DRL lights look(LED or standard bulbs). My car stands out now with dark amber DRL.

Bright white LED DRL bulbs/strips are too common placed now; just like black wheels. Was cool when a few people did it, now not so much in my opinion.

Great warranty. So you know you will get three years use out off the VLED.

The dark amber really makes the front of the car "pop" in my opinion

 

[lilrobo]

[surprisinguy]

few ppl on here have posted pics after led installations

I hope so. Either way, the warranty is there. Number one killer of bulbs are heat. LEDs are no different. As for DRL's, I think anything is better than nothing.
