OEM Turn Signal vs. Silver Stealth Titanium Chrome Vision
#16
If you want to be 100% sure of no amber reflection, then get the full chrome.
Now if you are getting it all painted black including the area where the turn signal goes, then you could probably go with the Chrome Dome since the black will not reflect much, if any, of the amber and you might want the extra 40% brightness. Just an opinion as I have not tried them.
I thought about going black housing, but decided I liked all the black and chrome/silver contrast. So I wanted no reflection in the turn signal area. Now I am working on options for the amber reflector.

The full chrome bulbs illuminate just as bright as you'd ever need them to. The chrome dome bulbs will still look somewhat amber in your housing because the entire housing is a reflective chrome look. The unpainted part of the bulb will reflect and it will still look like a regular amber bulb.

I'm pretty sure they light up still in Amber, you just don't have the egg yolk look when your looking at the bulb housing.

nice thread Hamster.
as far as retromoe's video, can anyone confirm that the amber colored chrome dome on clear housing like that would be more noticeable during the day? Those white blinkers are hardly noticeable.....

Is it illegal for the front turn signals to be any other color than Amber? Im thinking of getting the full chrome - but not sure if I should go with Amber or White. Now all I need is to figure out how to remove the amber reflector... the DIY just scares me...

Have no personal experience except with the full chrome amber that I bought. Clear when not on, amber when turn signal is turned on. So legal and I wanted it to be "amber" when I used the turnsignals.
