OK i have had enough

This might not be a big deal to any one else but i am fed up. I have a 95 max and the corner bulbs on the side of the headlights i have replaced 6 times trying to find some WHITE ones did i say WHITE not blue or purple or bluish white ... i mean every where advertised as white i get blue. i baught from custom maxima with the pics of them installed yeah thats false advertisement.. with the hids and the blue corner lights and the yellow fogs my car looks like a christmas tree.. i dont know what to do. does any one have WHITE ones and know where i can get some. because i am completely gone crazy over something so stupid. Oh by the way i just baught these headlights does any one have them installed and would be able to post pics.. ? thanks guys !http://www.customenterprise.com/view...sd/scspid/4718

Contrast your headlights with orange corner markers.
Any blue coated bulb you waste your money on will never be pure white.

just go with amber bulbs, it looks much better and you don't have to worry about trying to match the headlights....

yeah...the corners arent really supposed to be white...I bought silverstars 1157 for 20$ at pepboys and put them in and they are a nice deep orange/amber...they contrast real well with my 9004 silverstars .. good combo for cheap!

Do an led mod to the bulb, that's probably the best way. Other than that, I would say look for Polarg or Piaa bulbs if they make them in 1157. Amber would be the easiest way time and moneywise.

Are the PIAA corner lights white/blueish? Im looking to get corner bulbs, and do not like the amber look at all, and want something close to white.

eurolight 1157 bulbs are nowhere near to being white.. i have them. they also fade over time.. i just had to replace one. so now i have a bright bluish color in one (the new one), and a dull white in the other.

I have blue bulbs all round in the front. They look white except when bright (when you hit the signal), but they are BLUE blue. I think you have to have some blue tint for them to look true white.

i cannot say this for sure, but from what ive read about them, piaa extreme white's are suppose to be the whitest ones. im thinking of ordering them along with the piaa 9004's as well. ive never seen the LED's, but i would imagine those would be the purest white you can get.. the bulbs themselves are white ya know.. i would do anything to avoid the ambers personally. i would buy one of the LED's first before you resort to the ambers.. you know yourself you aint gonna like them.. lol
