Default Bumper lights/clear lenses

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have a 95 black Integra and my bumper lights aren't the same matching color I want them to be. I can get the little bulbs to be super white but i can't get the big bulbs to be even though they are a super white bulb. But if anyone else has this problem and fixed please help my car looks ghetto with it like that. And let me know if i just need to buy like a kit or something or anything else I have to do to get my Bumper lights the same color

or...use stock lights...thatll make it much easier.

Even better...spray your clears amber, put in your stock non-ricer bulbs, and youll have nice amber lookingness.

Stock bumper lenses will fix that right up.

Or even clears w/ amber bulbs. I used to have amber bulbs in clear corners and never had a problem w/ them matching or not. Eventually I got sick of the crappy-fitting clears and put the stock ones back in (over a year ago) and I've never looked back.

I think we all did. Mine lasted about 2 days till I realized it didn't look good on my car. I sprayed my OEs amber and it looks better.

I sprayed my OEM bumper lights amber, and they looked terrible. It took ALOT of elbow grease to get all that orange paint off. Now they just look normal.

besides, full amber isn't JDM

I had clears for a couple months and i got out of that faze
I had all amber spray paint for about a year and a half and I got out of that faze
Now i have JDM, and thats staying in there.

you won't find any bulbs that are exact color matches, what you could try and do is cut the constant wire to one of the bulbs, so it only comes on while you are signaling

Both bulbs in mine are on constant w/ the parking lights, but I rewired it so only the 1157 bulb flashes for turn signal. The 194 wedge bulb never flashes, mainly because my OEM sidemarkers sorta replaced those I guess.

I agree. Amber is freakin clean. It gives it the bird-eye look which is pretty nice.

it's so wierd how just a few years ago, amber lights were considered nasty looking on a car, and everything had to be clear.
