lighting

Hi. I would like to buy some different front turn signal lights. Can any1 suggest something. I have PIA SUper Plasma headlight bulb. Also at auto depot, i saw they had certain wedge bulbs to go with my headlights, and some number on it. What the hell is a wedge bulb? Is it for the side markers? And whats the size i need for the side markers then. Sorry about all the questions just dont wanna make my max look bad.

Wedge bulbs can be used in the front and rear side markers and also in the door lighting. Try www.autobulbdepot.com for good prices and quick shipping. If you want to change the dome you need a t bulb, check the sticky up top for numbers.

You need 1157's for the front turn signals. I have PIAA Extreme whites to match my headlights. I got them at autobulb depot. They were like 12 bucks.

yea.. much better.. i like the all white look.. so all the bulbs match.. so it looks sweet at night.. but if u want the orange bulbs but don't like that orange color u c in the day tym with out the lights running.. there's these new bulds that have a silver coat over the orange glass.. so u can only tell that there orange at night and when your signal is on.. i'll post the like to the page when i find it..

I klnow what ur talking about the coating ive seen them. But im mostly interested in how it looks at night, even without the turn signals. Because that means the running lights will be white also, just curios if any1 has a pic of how it owuld look.
