nah, that's not what i meant.

I do mean, that hyperwhite bulbs (from both piaa and polarg, and i dont know whoelse) are always the blue bulbs, which are a white light with blueish tint.

if you want to see pics of my car, there are some from the meet last night, check the thread in North east forum.

Mine has them in the back for turn signal and reverse lights.

I think we're all looking for the brightest bulb with no blueish tint coming through during the day when the bulb is off, no? Any suggestions?

I understand that-do you care if the blue tint of the bulb comes through the lens during the day?

I have PIAA's (worth the extra $ IMO). They match the HID's more than any other parking lights i've seen.
I get the blue reflection daytime, but at night, it's basically the color of the HID. Not really any blue in it.

The 921 9LED lights from http://www.superlumination.com/ are way brighter than any bulb you can find. They are a lot brighter than my PIAAs and are really cheap.

Our HIDs have a liiiiitle bit of blue in them. A lot less than audi, bmw, mercedes, acura, etc....

I don't understand why u want to completely stay away from even a slight tint of blue. It looks a lot cleaner when the 2 lights match. Not only that, but if u buy some matching H3 fog light bulbs, you've got a nice uniform look.

btw... i was in Montreal for the EuroCup & it was insane over there too!!

Forgive me for being dense, but could you let me/us know exactly which bulbs you are using and in what part of the car? I am in fact trying to get my reverse lights, fogs, the little lights near the amber turn in front (soon to be cleared) and BOTH headlights to match. Thanx!!!

i'm using stock colors (red/amber) for the sidemarkers on the front and rear sides of the car. i have the clear sidemarker lense in the front so i stuck with chrome/amber bulbs to keep the clear look when the lights are off.

for the reverse lights i'm using super white 7440 9led bulbs which are a clear color when off, i didn't like the bluish tint reflected by the PIAA reverse light bulbs.

parking lights (light next to the headlamp) i'm using superwhite 921 9led. also clear color when off to avoid the bluish tint when off.

the fogs i'm running h3 sylvania cool blues which aren't as good a match for the HIDs as PIAA, but i never use my fogs anymore so i'll just leave them as is.

here's the best pics i have of the park lights:

I kept mine stock but I tried these black light LEDs just to see how they look. Very sweet but I would be asking for a ticket.



More pics here.
