Blacklines no bulbs

So I just purchased a set of blacklines but they dont come with bulbs. Can i use the bulbs that are in my lights now? and is it pretty easy to install them?

Are they OEM? Where did you get them from? Another member? I'm pretty sure blacklines should come with bulbs. I would imagine that it shouldn't matter but don't hold me to that.

i went through the same shit as you.its pretty straight forward just take the bulb housing out of the OEM taillights and swap it to your blacklines. Their is a white clip holding it on their right in the middle of the housing just push in that clip and pull it out and that housing will snap right into you blacklines bulbs and all.

Not positive but I believe you have to use orange bulbs for the turn signals in the blacklines.

Most non-LED units will reuse the factory bulb holder.

+1. Jay is right. The orange turn signal bulbs will be needed for blackline/whiteline taillights. The orange bulbs use a different socket compared to the regular OEM turn signal bulbs. The orange bulbs will be the same as your front turn signal bulbs. Some Autozone stores may have this bulb.

You can reuse your existing bulbs but your existing turn signal bulbs will not match the socket of the blacklines.

Sand down on one of the two nipple pins and they'll drop right in.
