Hm, I think the amber reflector is what is required by law. And I will keep my reflector. Plenty of cars don't have an amber light on the side. Regardless, I'd still like to stick with my original plan.
I still want to go ahead and get rid of the amber light. Also, the stealth bulb you have described above is a decent idea, however, this is an LED, which already accomplishes the goal desired by a stealth bulb: white/clear when off, and amber when lit.
I'm looking for a way to make the LED not to shine amber.

Okay great! So it's
certain that the little amber LED is not replacable due to it being soldered to a board?
And sorry to be nosy, but what wire was it exactly? Maybe a picture if you still had it in your file somewhere? I don't want you do go behind your fender liner again, but just in case if you had it still...or maybe you remember where the wire was?
And I totally agree with the chrome look. That's exactly what I did with my rear turn signals...but instead of buying stealth bulbs, I just painted them chrome...here's the finished product:
Thanks for the info though...that's exactly what I was looking for!
