whats the nicest 194 bulb?

hey ive been wondering which bulb to put into the sidemarker(factory), and its the 194 bulb...i want a blueish hyperwhite look, the bulb i have now is so weak is doesnt even spread light throughout the entire lense...i ran across these that i thought would be the best possibly--PIAA High Intensity Luminosity Diode LED Wedge Bulb=PIAA Blue-White Twin LED Wedge 5W--for 23.95
anyone using those? anyone know any others that are better?

ive heard that LED's dont desperse the light that much ...they concentrate more on one spot....id say the Polarg's on custom max that i saw are pretty decent...i like they way they look.

Well, I'm trying to stay a little legal with my clear bumper lights. I got amber 194s and hit them with a light coat of silver paint. This way, you dont see the orange bulb in the day, but it still shines orange at night. I did the same with the 1156s in the blinkers.

u c...the thing i hate about lights/bulbs is its more of a trial and error process..ive gone thru sooo many different bulbs on my car and wasted so much money due to either cheap bulbs blowing out, wire harnesses burning out, bulbs i dont like(color, dispersement,etc)or just having a ton of different bulbs i wanna change around every now and hen..with the headlights i finally get HIDs, and now i want the 7k hanabi kit instead...grr this is getting annoying

Check this out...

I reccommend you check out this site for PIAA bulbs. I think they might have what you're looking for: AutoBulbDepot.com

Go to the colored bulbs link.

IMHO the Piaa Super Plasma's are the best looking. They will match up to the upper corner light(rewired) perfectly!! The only thing is, if you have the diamond cut bumper lights like me, the light will tend to look brighter right in the middle of the lense, rather than dispursing the light evenly throughout the whole lense.

thanks

My Hanabi kit is not as purple as it was when you last saw it. I guess they burned in a lil more, but dont get me wrong they are still bright as hell and much darker in color than the Acura factory HID systems.
My PolarG superwhite corners along with the Piaa super plasmas still look a tad greenish/blue next to my HID, its much better than the all clear bulbs i had at the meet,


....what the hell was i thinking
