I'm using PolarG Hyper-White 1157 bulbs with PIAA super white(or something like that) wedges, they match pretty well and give off a very bright white color, no blue or yellow tinge.

I've got the PIAA Xtreme White 1157's...they are pretty white/bright with a tiny hint of blue. I got mine from http://www.autocarparts.com.

I put my amber lenses back on with the xtreme whites (just to experiment) and it shines a really bright orange...kind of like the Corvettes/Camaros/Firebirds

you could just spend $3 on a pair of amber 1157's and be done with it, instead of trying so hard to match bulbs to headlights or whatever... you'll also attract less attention that way.

i don't see how blinking fast would make led's burn out
then again i don't see how leds couild burn out
you get what i am saying?
if you are referring to the ones in the back signals, you can always replace those with led too

didn't it make sense from the LED post? they won't burn out as long as they get the right voltage!

I've heard that Razo makes a good turn signal bulb that shines white instead of the yellowish and blueish look.
