corner bulb question

i bought a new hyper white bulb for the parking lamp/front turn signal bulb hoping to get rid of the orange corners and also hoping it would not be a bland dingy white color like the bulbs on my friends max. well it obviously got rid of the orange but it still is the dingy white color. now I noticed that when I use my turn signal or lock the car (causing the lights to flash so I know the doors locked) the light that is emitted is a brilliant white. is there anyway I can get it to be the bright color, all the time? I hope I explained that right...

Re: corner bulb question

did you get a chance to go to maximadriver.com yet?
if so, you might want to check in the "how to" section under rewire your corner lights...trust me with the stock bulbs...it looks almost like headlight on the corners!
hope that help and maybe it'll work with the bulbs that you have!
k-den...dev!

it also depends on what brand SW bulb you bought. PolarG are the best looking IMHO and have lasted me for close to 2years now, thats using an 1156 as my corner bulb!

You're talking about the lights in the bumper? Or the lights next to the headlights?

The lights next to the headlights can be rewired to be brighter. As for the bumper lights, I think they are only a single filament bulb, so there is no rewire to make them brighter, only a rewire that makes them alternate during blinking.

As for your observation, I never noticed if the lights are brighter then. I'll have to double check.
