OK, I don't know the specific name for them, corner lights maybe? Not the bumber ones that everyone puts in clears, but up right next to the headlights on the corners... see my pic below, I put an arrow to what I am talking about.

anyways, now that you know what I am talking about, mine are the stupid white color, not crystal clear "super" white or whatever, and I saw someones signature with them hyperwhite or superwhite. Would I have to replace that piece, or can I just get new bulbs for them? If that can be done with new bulbs, what bulb #'s are they?

The light is called a clearance light. You can replace just the bulb with like a polarg superwhite to get the clear white color. you don't have to replace the whole unit, just pop it out and change the bulb. The bulb size is 1157 (if your using polarg's that's an m-12). Hope that helps...

There's a screw at the top you first take out. Then use a flat head screwdriver and cloth and pry it at where it touches the headlight unit (basically away from the car, depending on which light your doing) It takes awhile, but it should pop right out.

How do i

I have a 95 and my corner lights get brighter when i turn on the blinker. I put in Eurolites along with all the other fronts and would like to know exactly how you rewire that one to stay on like you have your blinker on all the time?
