I (like everyone else on this forum) am trying to match up the lights in front.

Ive tried many different brands, and Im tired of throwing away money.
Can you guys reccomend some bulbs for:
1) Clearance Lights <- Is rewire necessary? will fuse blow?
2) Side Markers <-- tried 4 different brands.

Have you guys ever heard of Matrix bulbs? (the same company that makes the FSTB).

I got all my lights from www.aieonline.com. They match up really good. They have a slight blue tint to them but it's not too much. My brother bought some Matrix bulbs last week. They were EXTREMELY blue. I didn't like them at all. But that's my own opinion. I did rewire my sidemarkers without any trouble, although when I tried it on my wifes car I blew out all kinds of fuses. She's got the same car as I do!

I played with bulbs for a while as well. Now after a few $$$ wasted here's what I wound up with as a match.

Side Markers = PIAA Extream Super White
Fogs = PIAA Platinum Series Super White (really nice bulb)
9004 Headlights = APC 80/100 HID "simulated" super white bulb.

All the colors match up really nice. Slight bule tine from the headlights, side markers throw the same shade of blue rewired for 27 Watts you wind up with a very large spread of blue/white light to both sides and the front. The PIAA Platinum fogs H3? Are very bright white with a slight almost purpleish color. The front of my car looks very bright. Next step is the true HID kit.

Hope that helps.

Oh yea, I've seen the Polarg Hyper White, also a very nice bright color white.
