Corner Bulbs?

was up guys.
I have few questions.
Ok so i want to change the amber corner light. I went to Kragen bough some 194 in white, they were like 3 bcuks. anyways so I installed them and they're not that brigth of a white. So than I got blue, and it looks very ricey. So now i am thinking of buying from everythingg35.com those PIAA Super White bulbs. Do you guys think they will be a lot brigher? something to match with the headlights.

Thanks

White........taking a chance!

When you buy the clear sides the amber bulb is
supplied as part of the package. Since you live in
Ca. it's required that the bulbs be amber.....this is
kinda asking for a ticket! GFL

i live in socal and i have LEDs in my side markers. no problems yet. actually, lots of people have non amber bulbs in their side markers and are in cali.

i too am picking up piaa xtreme white 168 bulbs from my friend next thursday or friday. ive had piaas before and i can vouch for them. they are top notch bulbs. much much much better than those "white" ones you find at kragen/pep boys etc.

and they arent overpriced either, 13 bucks a pair or so. LEDs are like 7 bucks per i think.

oh yeah, the reason im switching to piaas is b/c my LEDs are flickering -___- plus the LEDs gave off a white with blue tint light. the piaas will be pure white

^^while vleds has really nice LED bulbs, i have had two sets from them in my side markers. 3/4 LEDs started to flicker within a month or so. i have vleds in my domes and for my license plates and i love them.

rus, what are you looking for? i have those same LEDs from vleds.com and although they were nice and bright, they were not pure white. they had a blue tint.

ive had many bulbs from vleds.com (been using them for a few years now) and ive never found one that was pure white from them. so now im going back with piaa lighting as they are top notch bulbs. ill take some pics next week after i pick them up.

when you look at it its quite self explanatory

take a look where the light is coming from and it should become obvious.

i dont exactly remember how i did it but it took like 2 mins. check your owners manual, thats where i went.
