looking for white bulbs

Im looking for white bulbs for the clearance (194), parking (1157), and turn signals (1156). I have the PIAA Xtreme White 9004 headlight bulbs and I am fine with them. They are white and have a very light blue color if looked at closely so I will get the Xtreme White H3s also. The Xtreme White 1157 bulbs for the parking lights are just too blue and ricey looking for me. What other bulbs can I use for a bright white color (not blue). The PIAA Platinum Super Whites seem like what I want but I only found the 194 bulbs. I can only find the 1156 and 1157 in Xtreme white, do they make them in Platinum Super White? What bulbs can I use for a bright white color? Thanks.

Polarg 194s are whiter than PIAA 194s, I had polarg 1157 and 1156 before but I didnt like the blue reflection from the bulb in the day time.

Did the Polarg bulbs give off a blue light? The PIAA Xtreme White 1157 shows up blue on the white wall of my house. Anyone know of any other bulbs?

you might want to try LED bulbs to replace some of those bulbs..some orgers have them and i think they're pretty satisfied with them. They're also pretty cheap, check out ebay or superbrightleds for them

mine didnt show any blue on the wall when lit. they looked pretty white. I have a bunch of LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com and the 194 white bulbs, even their brightest 6 bulb ones are not white enough and look too "hyper white" almost with a blue tone to it. polarg 194s were the best white ones Ive tried.
