Default matching headlight bulbs and turn signal bulbs


sup

I have a 93 accord EX with stock headlights and clear corners. I had just bought it so i didnt really notice what the clear corners looked like at night......to my dismay the corners displayed a dull yellow while the headlights shined a niuce white....i cant seem to find the right bulbs to match with my headlights..... anybody know where i could find some plain-white turn signals?

Yea, in court when you get a ticket for non amber signal lights.

Or when the ricer police laugh at you because it looks shitty.

There are so many other options!

1) Strobes. Nothing says 'i'm turning' like a giant amber Rave in front of oncoming traffic. Play techno for the full effect. Get one of tbose adjustable ones so you can bump it to the music.

2) Red and blue lights. Nothing says 'get the **** outta my way' like blinking red and blue lights in the signal housing.

3) JDM Amber. There's nothing rarer or more distinctive than the JDM amber color. It makes you think you're turning in Japan until you realize youre sitting on the left hand side.

4) HID's! You'll turn brighter than ever before with xenon bulbs for that HID look!

Dude persoanally I don't think the clear corners are ricey as the stock corners look like **** to me. I think it looks much cleaner and better if you put clear corners and clear bumper lenses on. Put the amber in there to remain legal but only 1 has to be amber so he may want to change the other one. I would also like some bulbs that match my headlights as they stock bulbs look yellowish and I don't like the yellowish look personally but it is better than it was before with the stock corner lights.

Why is is that most of the people on this forum have to be such *** holes. I wanted to find out about fog lights and instead of giving me info you guys just say APC sucks and don't give me any info and then delete the thread. It has some good info on here and a few nice people but there sure are a lot of ********. Most forums have a few but this one has a lot. Even if he is asking a dumb question about stuff that you thinks looks stupid either don't respond or respond with helpful information.

Ok now to answer his question check out http://www.cardomian.com the bulb size should be 168 but it may not be but I think that is what it is on my car. I think they have some that say super white.

I did respond with helpful information. It is illegal. That was the first response. There's laws against this and I support them because they keep the road in order and generally safe.

Federal law:

All forward facing lights may be clear or amber. Rear facing lights may be clear, red, or amber.

Signal lights may only be red or amber in the rear, and only amber in the front.

Any other colors are considered illegal since they may become confused with emergency vehicles.

The rest was just blatant sarcasm.

There's nothing wrong with clear corners; in fact they sometimes turn out to look really good. But he was asking about signal lights that arent legal colors not to mention ricey as hell.

Convert them to LEDs (still not legal in some states) or just chrome plated bulbs if you want to get rid of the normal amber, but when they are lit, it's either amber or ticket.

So the next time i'm an *******, maybe there's a reason for it. It's just a bad idea.

Yea but I'm sure he knows it is illegal already and doesn't appear to care. If he wants to get a ticket for it then I would just let him. You only have to have the back bulb in the corner lights on a 5th Gen amber don't you. The clear corners I bought only came with a bulb for back there and that is the only amber part on the stock corners. I have to admit I don't like the look of the stock yellowish bulbs but the blueish ones look gay also.

I don't know about the 93 though either he added that part or I didn't see it which I think is the case. I don't know if it is defferent from the 5th gens or not.
