what's under your clear sidemarkers?
for those who have clear sidemarkers, i just wanted to know what bulbs different people have. i have front clears but i'm not sure if i like the hyperwhite bulbs or amber. i have hyperwhite cheap walmart bulbs in my clearance, looks good with my 02-03 xenons tho. if you can, be specific (i.e. polarg M-4) thanks.

i used to have polarg M-4 and they were great! but after a while, i just got too worried driving at night with freaking hyperwhite bulbs shining at all four corners ( 
) so i changed to amber and red (front-amber, back-red) 9-LED 912 bulbs, which are EXTREMELY bright, and i highly recommend them....

I have 5 led bulbs from Ebay, white in the front and red in the rear. They have one big bulbs facing forward and 4 smaller ones to the sides, so the light fills the reflector really well. I think I paid around $20 for all 4.

i just ordered some inverted LEDs from autoillumination.com. $11.96 shipped. i figured since they're about 10 bucks i'd put them in and see how i like them.
i never sealed mine before putting them in cuz it looked like too much of a PITA. i pray that water doesn't get in there everytime it rains or i was my car.

i kind of do like the amber fronts and red rears at night esp, i'm gonna leave my clearance hyperwhite. i've even seen a maxima with straight up BLUE clearance bulbs, didn't look bad but cops will be all over you. although right now i have hyperwhite fronts sides, i'm gonna try to get LED ambers. anyone know how many LED's will match with red rear sides (3 led, 6 led, 9 led, etc.)?

In front, I'm using the bulb that came with the part.
Working out better than my rears.
In rear, I've got inverted red 194 from autoillumination. Better than the polargs i had in before, but not great. Might go with the LEDs for front & back soon.
Does anyone have daytime pics of their corners lit up?

Stock for light colors.
I like the stock ones, orange in front, and red on back. I don't think clear side markers look too good on my sunlit sand color, I think clear would look like they are broken or something. They look good on dark colors.

This site has a good selection of LEDs for your sidemarkers. I also recommend the 5 LED Refractors.

I have cheap blue wedge bulbs up front (look white now) and a 6 led RED in the back as the cheap red bulbs look pink. No orange or red anywhere.
If your lens leak or have condensation, seal up with clear silicone. I did mine and they are water tight.
