"HID like" clear corner bulbs...........

After installing the HID's and looking at my clear corners w/super white wedge bulbs, and they look awful. What company makes the brightest super white/plasma white bulb? PIAA?

I also saw some PIAA super yellow wedge bulbs, but heard theyre pretty expensive. Anyone have these?

Thanks.

Go back to ambers, they look so good on a black Integra.

I've been wondering the same thing.
Amber = Orange = Blah.
And regular corner bulbs in contrast to the HID's look nasty brown.
Surely someone sells some hyperwhite corner bulbs...

Re: "HID like" clear corner bulbs........... (STC)

I actually have PIAA's super plasma white (supposedly VERY white) in my clear corner but compared to my 4300K HID, it's yellowish white. If if you really want the white white WHITE color, then I would get the white-LED wedge bulbs. I'm considering to get the Yellow 194/1156 for my blinker since I don't like amber but yellow would look really clean + it's legal here... BTW, the white-LED's have no yellowish output, pure white

So many companies make LED wedge bulbs...to the point it's starting to become a rice-trend -_-. Anyway Seiwa, SPW, and other companies make them and if you go to eBay and type like "LED 194" or "LED 1156", people sell them. I like the fact that they are low power consumption plus it lasts long time & depending on the bulbs you get, they are much brighter...

Re: "HID like" clear corner bulbs........... (xtc*)

I want Yellow bulbs as well. I seen PIAA makes the Yellow in 168, but not in 1157.
Anyone have any suggestions, I really like the Yellow bulbs. Where can I get some???

Thanks.

Re: "HID like" clear corner bulbs........... (Maximus)

I have Raybrig bulbs on my city lights and corners (jdm conversion). I forgot the exact specs, but they have a blue tint on them. When you turn them on the are bright white to match the brightness of HID's and not look yellow. There is absolutely no blue color when turned on thank god. Only downside is you can see the blue tint during the day when the lights are off.

Yeah I'm still looking for the 1156/1157 yellow LED. They do sell the 194 wedge yellow bulbs like on eBay but...I rather buy from some company that has warranties...

Yeah, I've had ambers and super whites before. I friend has "super yellows/ion yellows/whatever theyre called" on his Maxima. It contrasts his HIDs nicely.

You should talk to trevor about the euro silver vision bulbs from philips. The are silver coated amber bulbs, they look really nice, and are only about 19 bucks I think.

Re: "HID like" clear corner bulbs........... (STC)

http://www.wholesalehyperformance.com used to have some super white bulbs like that... I got some a while back and they made the stock headlights look yellow... with HID's they match pretty good. Just call them up and tell them what you're looking for - they can recommend something.

I chose them cause the price was so damn cheap!
