I need to locate some bulbs (or LEDs) and want some recommendations. Here's a list of what I need, quantities, and where they are going:

(2) White (not sure of size) - Hi-Beams (to match the color of the HIDs)
(4) Orange (not Amber) 7440 or 7443 - front/rear turn signals
(2) Red 194 bulbs - rear side markers
(2) Red 7443 - rear tail lights
(2) White M-9 - rear backup lights

At this point, I'm not against using LEDs, but they must be as bright as a regular bulb because the LEDs must be able to be seen in the daytime. I've got all clear lights on the car which is illegal in Florida when driving, however the law states that you must either reflect or EMIT light up to 20 feet in order to be legal. So basically I need a bulb (or LED) that can be seen from 20 feet away, even during the daytime (I always drive with my parking/fog lights on).

I'm looking for a dark color as well, as if they were behind red/orange lenses. The only lights that I don't need are the front corner lights, as they came with the clear corners and have not faded in almost 2 years.

I don't want bulbs that will fade after 3 months either. If you can recommend a bulb, manufacturer, site, link, etc that will help, please reply.

Thanks in advance.

 

 

High beams are the 9005 size. The reverse bulb is W2 size.

At night




Again in the day

 

Are you using the 100W or the 65W?

 

These guys have a good selection of bulbs and lights. I always use em and have had good results...

I have the 65 watt ones now, 100 watts on my old car tho. They were definatly brighter

 

If ordering from Midnight Moose, use coupon code JU-FLD for 15% off. I have their bulbs in my high beams and they are bright but are bluer than the HIDs. Their customer service is excellent, I was out of warranty on one of their bulbs which burned out (on my other car, after 6 mths) & they sent me another one free w/o any hassle.

 

Will the 100 watts burn out sooner then the 65w?

 

...you mean if it doesn't melt the harness 1st

 

I found the following that I'm looking at... can anyone recommend for/against any of them?

High Beams
http://www.midnightmoose.com/9005.htm
Eaglite 9005 65w - $15.49/pair

Front and Rear Turn Signal
http://www.midnightmoose.com/7440.htm
MAX 7440 27w Amber Colored Bulb - $5.49/each

Rear Brake/Parking Light
http://www.midnightmoose.com/7443.htm
Polarg 7443 27/8w Red Bulb - $6.49/each

License Plate
http://www.midnightmoose.com/194.htm

Rear Sides (Clear Corner Bulb)
http://www.midnightmoose.com/194.htm
Red MAX 194 5w Colored Bulbs - $5.49/pair

If I bought all of them in the quantities that I needed, the total, before discount, would be $62.91 + shipping. With the 15% discount, it would be $53.48 + shipping. Does this sound fair?

 

I have a silly question...are your rear stop lights cleared out? Why would you want a red bulb behind a red reflector? Would you not want a super bright white bulb behind it...what did I miss here?

 

why would you get an amber colored bulb when you went through all the trouble of clearing out your front turn signal lights?

purchase these bulbs or bulbs like these:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2456032590

you cant see them when they are off but they still blink amber/orange and are legal. plus they are still bright during the day! i have them for both the front and back and they are great!

 

The JC whitneys are the best by far!

 

2k3titanium you got the JC Whitney ones too?

 

has anyone had a problem with the JC whitneys melting your harness or damaging it in anyway? any burnout problems as well?

 

bump, macalert or anyone still around have any input?
