Cleaned headlights & PIAA's put in

Well aside from the incident of being hit while putting in my PIAA's, they're all set. Cleaned all my lenses thoroughly with some grease lightning + foam pad scrubbie thingie, and then some Blue Magic plastic polish. They look extremely clear in the day and the brilliant shine they're giving with my new lights is great!

My clear bumper lenses are in the mail, so that orange will be gone asap; along with some polarg 1157 replacements to brighten up those corner lenses and get rid of that amber hue.




What do you think? The camera gave it a orange/red hue but in person it's bright white with a slight hint of blue.

they look good... i just did the 9007 conversion & its about the same. Except the cost to replace bulbs wont be as much as PIAA. Thats the only thing that tore me away from my PIAA lighting dreams...

quick question, how do ya'll get those "clearance" corner lights next to the headlights so bright? are they re-wired for more wattage using a different bulb then an 1157 or... just a good brand 1157?

if the latter, what is a good one to get? with my diamond cut corners i got some polarg ones having looked at the picture that custommaxima provides, but I saw a few threads today about them messing up stuff and the bulbs sucking.. it was only 8 bucks anyways.

pointers on a good brand to use for the 1157's for the clearance lights and 194s for the side markers?
