just wondering how come when i put polarg m-14 bi hybrid super whites in the corners up front, when the lights are on, they look dim, unless i use my signals where they blink really bright?

 

Hmmm...that's interesting. I use the M-9s for my front corners and they work just fine. Wonder if that's the reason?

 

The correction is that I use M-12s for the front, not M-9s.

The update is that the M-12s emit a higher intensity light than the M-14s that you are using (35W vs 21W) so that goes to explain your observation. Hope this helps.

 

time to buy some M-12's then

 

Personally, I like the look withOUT corner lamps. Mine just blink amber(no running lamp), so you only see my Super Whites. Plus, you don't have a problem trying to match the corner lamps with the headlamps.

P.S: Just put a piece of electrical tape over one of the two "knubs" on the bulb and then reinstall to see what I'm talking about.

 

i have the piaa xtreme white and have the problem of it being dim except when blinking. let me know if the increase in wattage makes a difference. i have panasonic HIDS and wondering if that is so bright that it makes the corner lamps dim.

You got HIDs? Lucky guy! That can definitely be a reason why your corners look dim.

 

another question..

i was wondering if rewiring the clear corners to blink with the signal may be causing it to be dim?

 

nah it wont dim it

 

ACTUALLY I THINK ITS BETTER THAT ITS A LITTLE DIM (ITS NOT ALL THAT BAD) - WON'T GET BUSTED BY 5-0 FOR NOT HAVING AMBER COLOR IN THE CORNER LAMP.

 

im going to get busted sooner or later or my rear signals. they caused a blind person to squint there eyes while my signals were on
