attn: Y2KEV - side marker bulbs

hey kev,

what bulbs are you (or anyone else reading this) using for the clear sidemarker lights. i let my wife drive the car and saw how hideously yellow my side marker lights were. i want to get the hyperwhite (i know they come out blue-ish) bulbs.

tia.

Same here.

Right now I'm just thinking of the right combination because if I put in some hyper white color in the side marker, leave amber bulbs for the signals and the yellowish H4s/H3s in the headlights/foglights that'd be too many colors..

Thanks for the compliment.

If you want white without any blue, I suggest Raybrig Hyper White bulbs. They are the whitest/brightest 194 bulbs I've seen. The ones I have now are PIAA Super Plasma (blue). They definitely aren't as bright and they have a hint of blue.

its not that bad... only on really big bumps.

My rims are ricey.:rooleyes:

Actually I did just take off one of my main pieces of rice, they were blue lugnuts to match the volk stickers. I felt like they took away from the overall appearence of the rim, so I got some light wieght black ones..

i think i'll go w/ the raybrigs. hope they won't be too hard to find. i don't mind the hint of blue of the piaa's, but i had piaa super plasma's for my headlights once and they did look blue, but one went out in 6 months. i bought some cheapie $25 hypers and i put on next to the piaa's and they looked exactly the same.

besides, piaa spelled backwards reads "$$$$$".

i know what you mean. when i'm standing by the car, the yellow doesn't seem bad.. but when i saw someone else driving my car on the freeway @ nite, it looked BAD. i think my car looks kinda sweet from the back, but when you drive next to it, it looks like i ran out of money and couldn't get the rest of the bulbs!!! LOL

Well all I know is that the original clear bulbs that came with the car don't match at all with the front lights

I screwed up the links or something, but if you register again, both the links i posted are in the wheel and tires section. The lugnuts I got are the Kyokugen Lugnuts. They are nice looking and are JDM...hhehehe :gaptheeth:. The volk link had the GTP, GTN, and GTA's I think for like 1600 for 18's or something along those lines.
