Yes. I've had mine for about 3 months. Got them from midnightmoose.com. Look great - not pink.

 

If your not going with white bulbs, because your worried about the then just do NOT have any bulb.

IMO, the red looks pink and I'd rather have NO light than pink or dingy orange. So far, I've had NO PROBLEMS with the PO-PO in Arizona, California, and Nevada and it looks clear in the daytime and disappears at night.

Perfect solution in my book because it's FREE.


BTW, where did you get the TL bulbs and how much?

 

Not a bad idea actually on removing the bulbs completely. I might do that if the po-po mess with me. But I'm usually in bed by 8:30 so I don't have to worry about it too much.

I hated the LEDs. They were pink. And the amber was just fugly. I opted for the polarg's. A little bit blu-ish, but MUCH better that the LED's.

 

I still have PIAA Super Whites in the front sidemarkers. I just don't have bulbs in the rear.

One of these days we'll have to meet up, so I can check out your ride. I'm not sure what you've got, but I still have my "old" setup in my 2K1 headlamp housings if your interested. The PIAA Super White H4s and Polarg G34 Visuals(?) with the AMBER running filament disabled looks WAY BETTER than stock IMO. Basically, I had NO yellow in front even during the daytime, except when the blinker was flashing.

 

I'm not following about the amber fillament. Huh?

I replaced ALL f my bulbs... Turn signals, fogs, headlights, and side markers. The turn signals, fogs and headlights are Toucan xenons. The side markers are polarg's.......

 

Scroll down to my post:
Stealth Running Lamps

It just eliminates the yellow running lamp filament from the DUAL filament 1157 bulb that is both a running lamp and blinker. If your bulb is white and matches your H4 bulbs at night you probably wouldn't care to do this.

 

Oh yes, of course....Now I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't need to do that because my bulbs match....well....sorta.

Gonna go pick up my UDP right now! I hope I don't F- up that install too bad.....

 

I have Red LED's in the back, and Amber LED's up front, and I think they look good, but that is my .02
I keep color cuz I already have enough mods that can get me in trouble (20%, NOS)

 

That's my point exactly!

If you don't like the color, but feel pressure by the POPO, so it will NOT be worth the white/blue look, then just do NOT have ANY bulbs.

They look WAY better during the daytime and WAAAAAAAAAAY better at night withOUT ANY attention grabbing color for the POPO to care about or mess with.

I'm sorry, I just don't understand. IMO, it is a million times better looking to NOT have ANY bulbs than to have RED/AMBER bulbs in your clear corners/running lamps.

 

This is a Fact . I had both kinds . RED bulbs and LED REDS ! Why anyone would buy non Led's I dont understand. There are many people that have them , and have posted how much they like them. Make sure you get a BRIGHT led.

 

sorry to revive a old thread but im actually trying to replace the orange bulb on my head lights with a blue one.. is this legal? is this possible? any bulb number guys?

i woulod honest and truely appreciate all your help as i am a newbie!

DO NOT bump another 6 year old thread just to ask a question like this that could have been posted in the newbie thread (which is a sticky).
