I got my H3, 9004, 1157, and the 194 today. Everything is very white and I like it, except the 1157. It's a lot better than the stock bulbs, but that wasn't what I was expecting. The fog light and the sidemarker lights are very white. You should get those....

I see that autodynamic.com sells 1157 from Polarg. Anybody has them? Are those very white?

I am defending AIE................

I have all that you have from aieonline too and all of mine match and are "white" did you rewire your corners to be brighter with the #1157?

I haven't rewired it yet because I'm too lazy.

the aie bulbs are much more whiter than the stock, but compared to #194 and the fog lights, they're freakin yellow. The fog light and #194 are pure white. I love it.
Will rewiring the 1157 make it whiter? I'm thinking maybe the plastic housing of the clearance light has something to do with it. Maybe the casing itself is kind of yellow and not letting the pure white color through.
what do you think? are you sure yours are pure white?

IF you rewire it'll cast a brighter light, which should appear whiter. Otherwise you could go with Polarg 1157 bulbs, but even then you should rewire them to make them look superwhite.

rewiring them will help,it will help it shine better through the factory lens....you should rewire them.....
