Clear corner PIAA lights...

Which lights look better with clear corners and what is the difference between these 2 lights? I've got an IP Coupe.

PIAA Extreme White 168 Wedge Bulb

or

PIAA Super White 168 Wedge Bulb

Maybe some pictures of both to compare them side by side if possible please. Looking to order these from everythingg35 tonight

Sorry for getting in on this a little late. I had both Extreme and super white bulbs in my clearance strip and clear corners.

The super whites were a little more purple/pinkish. I didn't like the look.
I still went with Extreme white bulbs.....not the LED's.

Here's a pic or two of my set up.....the bulbs are about 6-7 months old.

Hmm I don't like how with those wedge bulbs the light is just in the center of the side marker and not spread out...

With the LEDs on that ebay auction would they light be spread out more evenly or still mainly just in the center of the side marker?

you need to get a led that diffuses the light... there are some leds on ebay that have 5 leds in a circular pattern so it reflects in the housing

mordak....the pics of my car were taken in daylight......at night the whole marker is properly lit. Only the clearance strip tends to be less lit up near the end by the bumper.... I should have another shot at night in my pics by my sig.......check there for a better idea....



I don't think you will be disappointed with the wedge type bulbs.
