John01XX Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I am cleaning out my garage a bit and found a box that has a bunch of left over stuff from when I was a Clear Alternatives distributor. I still speak with Tobin, the owner occasionally. They are no more. I have 14 amber 1157 bulbs and 6 1156 amber bulbs that I am about to throw in the garbage. Three of the 1156 (single element) bulbs are the Titanium or some called them chrome bulbs. Back in the day they sold for $10 a piece, now pretty much worthless. Anyone have a need for bulbs that is worth the shipping cost? They probably are more expensive to mail than to buy new ones but thought I would offer them up before garbage pickup tomorrow morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yeah, if they aren't LEDs, trash. I put extremely bright LEDs in my XX for $13 a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I was thinking about dropping them off at the local Advance Auto Parts or PepBoys. Maybe they can use them or give them away or drop them in their garbage can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Can I still buy the chrome bulbs for my Clear Alternatives lights? I can never force myself to throw good stuff away. It must be from hanging around farmers in my youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 If nobody chimes in with an immediate use/strong desire for them I'll put them in my bulb box to use as needed. I still work on old stuff so they'd eventually find homes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front signals take 1157 dual element bulbs that I do not have in chrome. If you can use a pair of the 1156 bulbs I will be happy to send them to you for postage. The rest will go to Oscar.

I have the C.A. front signals and rear tail light but not the rear signals. So I take it that I can't use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent many a summer day at my friend’s little dairy farm, straightening out used nails under the watchful eye of his grandpa. And I still have my mason hammer for cleaning off brick. Still use that bastard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
