i just bought 2 hyper white bulbs to replace my amber ones , how come the parking light is still amber??? but when i signal it is white???? can someone help me with this problem thanks

 

they might just be cheap bulbs. How amber are we talking when the parkers are on? Do they look exactly like the stocks lights?

 

yea basically like the stock, but i heard from the guy who sold it to me that I gotta cut the wire and switch them around or something neone know nething about this?

 

ok so do you have clear corners? cause if you do then the hyperwhites should not be amber, but if you have the stock corners it will still shine amber, let us know some more details

 

hrmmmmm did u change both bulbs? 1196 and the 194 wedge bulb

4 bulbs all together....

 

yee yes yes yes and yes omg lol im not that dumb yes there clear corners yes 4 bulbs my turn signal turns hyper white but when i dont signal its back to amber so that is my problem for now

 

neone?

 

Just try new bulbs then.

 

interesting so I shouldnt be re wireing nething then? cause it looks like no one here is having this problem

just a guess --

The 1157's are dual filament.. it sounds like as parking lights only 1 filament is lit, and hence the weaker and amberish?? light appears.

When flashing, both are lit, and it looks more white.

What yr is your car? I dont think this is the case for g3 tegs unless Im mistaken.. (mine appear to be fully lit as parking lights)

 

my car is a 2000 integra gs

 

get all of your bulbs changed to hyper white. thats what i have and it has no amber tint. unless your clear corners have an amber tint on the lens.

 

it shouldnt cause when i signal its clearly hyper white

 

your bulb is dim on the running light side of things. thats all. find a higher wattage hyper white, it will work fine.
