Re:Amber passing lamps 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Probably have to change out the housings. Probably fits the sealed beam version of yami's housings but that's probably an extra $90. Its the screwing in of the turn signals into something other than yami cans that would be my concern with the yami bar. If you went that route, you could always sell the halogen cans. This is assuming you have the halogen ones and don't already have the sealed beam version. If you have the SB version already, you're good. You say standard. There are two flavors. Which do you have?

Pop, we don't know its a silverado. I have a silverado and in '04, there was no lightbar on the silverado. According to his profile he has an '01 midnight star. I added one thanks to your guidance. He or the previous owner could've added the sealed beam one and he may not know there are two flavors. Might be lucky.

Re:Amber passing lamps 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
The amber beams I use come from J.C. Whitney and are designed to fit a spotlight housing that is 4.75" across and 3" deep. They will run you $11/each +shipping.

I think they do a better job of getting attention than the "normal" white light most folks run. Can't prove it though.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the input. My lights are halogens, so it looks like no easy answer.
