i bought a set of philips blue vision wedge bulbs for my bumper lights and even though they are slightly brighter they still look yellow, has anyone found a bulb that gives a white light, i replaced my hi and lo beams with ultra white xenon bulbs and so the yellow bumper lights now look stupid...please help!!

 

no matter what kinda damn hyperwhite wedge bulb you put in they will still turn out yellowish. I think its because how the clear bumper light was design. I tried so many different company to get the hyperwhite looks to match my headlight but none that were successful so i said *** it!!

 

i was kind of figuring that..they all claim to be blue white but any i've seen so far are yellowish.. a friend of mine with a G3 teg converted his to take H3 bulbs but its a whole load of hassle and wiring and relays have to be changed, but theyre as bright as hell now..but i dont think icould be bothered going to all that trouble

 

i have smoked clear lenses with orange bulbs. stock look @ night, not so stock during the day. best looking (and legal) setup IMHO

 

Polarg M-4's leave the outer sidemarkers in teh bumper lense with a light blue tinge.

The parking lamp bulb is harder to match tho, and some people opt to not use the low-filament in the 1157's.

Then what do they use if they don't use 1157? Nothing?

 

1157's are dual-filament. When the low-wattage filament is burnt out, the bulb will only come on when the turn signal is used.

Gives it that Porsche 911 look where the outer sidemarkers stay on constantly.

 

yeah I know their dual filament but thats interesting I didn't know they will still function

 

I use the eurolight wedge bulbs -- pure white at nite, no tinge of blue (which some ppl like, like polargs).

Odd thing is, next to the wedges I have eurolight 1157;s (or 56's, i forget), the larger corner bulb, and those look yellowish next to the wedges.

 

Actually I would like to refix my post and say that my wedge hyperwhite bulbs are fine they shine out bright hyperwhite. But as for the one next to it the 1157 dual filament bulb. They always turn out yellowish to me. I seen it on every g3 integras also all yellowisih. I guess its how they made that clear bumper side cuz I've tried many companies to get the matching hyperwhite look but non sucessful. So you are right Hexxboy.

 

I just use amber bulbs and don't worry about stuff like this.

 

i got hiper 1157 super plasma and and an 18 watt wedge bulb from polarg.. matches pretty good... bright too
