does anybody on this god given earth know of a set of 9004's & 1157's that match?
just like the title states.. im not doing the upgraded harness thing anymore.. been there... done that.. they dont even work anyway, the plugs still burn.
i just want the regular 65/45 wattage, for the headlights.. and a set of 1157's that match?? piaa's?? any of these other friggin things????? i know the eurolights dont match... cost me enough to figure that out.. i bought new headlights, i want new bulbs.. SOMEBODY HELP.. pics are definately appreciated..
not for nothing.. but there should be pics of all there different bulbs in the stickies.. there is NO information to help someone make this desesion.. its all trial and error. im tired of wasting money..

My harnesses are still fine after all that time and I also did the 9007 conversion so I had even higher wattage running through them most of the time since the 9007s run off the highbeam fillament for the lowbeam. Either way to answer your question you will never EVER find corner bulbs that match your headlight bulbs no matter the combo. You can get fairly close, but not close enough. The closest match are Nokyas with Polargs (as I think someone else mentioned in the other thread you started) but they still have too much of a contrast to be referred to as matching. Most everyone agrees that purposely contrasting the bulbs always looks better, and I'm beginning to agree. I have Polargs in my corners now but will be throwing some silver coated amber bulbs in them once one burns out. I'll keep the luminics blues I have right now but they're too blue (more blue than Nokyas) and will instead switch over to the luminics euro whites. One thing that may match well are the luminics euro whites while putting some white LEDs in your corner bulbs. You may want to give that a try
like i stated b4.. been there.. done that.. im not spending money to find harness's on a trial by error basis, just so when they fail, they melt the more expensive bulb i just bought.. you think i just started doing this?
Well, I bought a set of 1157 bulbs from Pilot, their simulated HID bulb, and a set of 9004 Nokya bulb from Circuit City. Very close match, but I modded my corner lamps to be fully illuminated when on. Each 1157 was 5 bucks and the set of 9004 ran me 20 bucks. I really like the look they give off. I also am running the same style bulbs from my blinkers too!
Well, good luck with this.
Like I stated before you will never get a perfect match. Im speaking from experience.
Even if there were pics, most of the time the light output shown in pics is not the same as in person so it wouldnt help out too much.
You best bet is to just match up the corners and bumpers and run a different look for the headlights.
I just went with Amber, and they all matched up.
