Just changed my corner lights to orange, need opinions!
Well, I finally changed my corner lights to orange instead of the whitish/weird color than before. I had the blue "hyper whites" in the corners before, but I realized that I cant find any bulb that will match the color of my HIDs, and then I saw another max with teh orange bulb in teh corners, and I wanted to try. Here si a pic of it, let me know what you guys think honestly, and any helpful ideas would be nice

I did that a long time ago.
Looks much better then dim white/yellow/blue/superwhite crap.
Look at all the high end cars with factory HID's, they all have orange side markers!

And actually, when Brabus, Haman, Dinan etc. get a hold of those high end cars, the first thing they do is get rid on the orange and replace it with clear. So, yes, any stock car will have orange. Any modified car should have clears.

Belive me after having those ugly off white/"supr white" bulbs on teh side that totally did not match with the HIDs, I think these look a lot better. Here is another pic for you guys:
P.S.- I also have fog lights, but since one is burned out, I dont turn them on. =/

Also, are these rewired or just normal? I have not rewired anything yet. So, if I change to these will they be very very dim orange or as bright as these? I don't have HIDs though.

And yes, all you do is unscrew the old bulb and put new one in.

How about the sidemarkers/turn signals, how is your setup for that? Orange also?

I'm just not feeling it. It's ok but I wouldn't do it. It reminds of the 3rd gen maximas with their orange corner lights. Or like all those accords with their orange corner lights. Even though I don't like it many of these others do so nice work.

I'm not a huge fan of orange corner lights. It's one thing if they blink when your turn signal is on, but I prefer to have as little orange on (with no blinker) as possible.
To me orange is best used to signify turning/lane changes. Thus, I just unplugged my corners when I put my HIDs in.

I don't think so, the stock corners are Orange and the bulbs are white. The DC clears are clear lenses and orange bulbs (for those who install them), that's a big difference.

I dont know, is it me or isnt the whole idea of changing the 'stock' yellow turn signals...front/rear, to get away from yellow? Why would you go back to it? Why spend the money to get away from yellow, just to spend more to go back to it?
IDK, maybe its me.....
