Where do I get red bulbs for the rear corners?

Any place that has bulbs that'll fit the rear corner lights that are cheaper than Courtesy Nissan's $12?

Your local rice shop, or www.autofreak.net. I have the Polarg ones, check the sig. Those are suppossed to be the closest to the red. Instead of pinkish. They are about 11-12 dollars a pair.

Go to your local auto store, they always have the small wedge red and blue ones.

Pepboys for sure, also SuperTrak or AutoTrak for sure.

Try them. Alot cheaper and only $2

I got the "cheapies" from Trak Auto and am not too happy with them, as they look pinkish. I'm thinking of spending the extra bucks to get a better quality bulb in hopes of getting a true red light.

Thanks for all the help guys

I'll be gettin the Polarg M21s you have Velocity, I just found out there's an AutoFreak store 10 min away from my house. If I hadn't checked their locations I would have paid $5 shipping..lucky me

Check the sig.

They are 194 wedge bulbs. They are the best, for whatever bulb you get, buy PIAA.

Hey, no problem. After all, that's what these forums are designed to do. Also, about the PIAA bulbs, they go by the number 168 wedge bulbs instead of 194. Even though they are different numbers, I'm sure they still fit cause they are the same size. They are a bit more pricey than the Polarg, but they only make white bulbs. So if you want the red ones, go with Polarg. I went with red cause of legality issues, so if you have the same problem, then go with the Polarg to be safe.

I heard Hawaii doesn't let you guys do anything to ur cars lol. I went there 2 weeks last summer, I only saw cars with drops and mirror tints, thats about it..

Yeah I wanted some white/blue bulbs front and back, but not legal over here either

Does anyone have a picture of how the Polarg M21 Red Bulbs look in the clear corners? I am thinking of replacing the red bulbs I got since they look pink. Thanks.

also try www.autodynamic.com
they've got 194/168 wedge bulbs in various colors that have LED elements instead of the normal filaments. supposed to never lose their color and shine brighter with the same wattage. haven't used em myself, but that's what i'm told.

Well I don't have a picture, mebbe over the break though. But the Polarg M21s are still sorta pinkish, there's a pretty noticeable difference from the light in the tails and the rear corner..
