I need 3 types of bulbs...

My clear corners and the "sides" of the headlamp assembly both have bulbs that are a boring yellowish color that reminds me of old halogens... yet on this site, I've seen pics of G's on this site that have a blue-ish looking color to them, and I really want to replace those bulbs with the bulbs that will give me the blueish color rather than the yellow.

Basically, I am asking what kind of bulb (brand, size, color temperature, where to buy, etc.) I need for the clear corners, and also what I need for the "sides" of the headlamp assembly (someone on here should know what I mean by that... I'm not talking about the actual headlights).

Also, I wanted to replace the bulbs that light up my rear license plate with bulbs that will look like the IS350.

Anyone know what kind of bulbs I need for each of these 3 places? Thanks!

ok i just replaced my licen plates lights on my g and all u do is go on ebay and type g35 lights i got mine at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-L...spagenameZWDVW
there super sweet i got mine in white. these bulbs will work with the clear corners and i orderd more. and for your headlight u can make it looks super redicuosly cool by ordering ccfl lights but thats hard 2 do. if u got to the do it yourself page it will show u how complicated it is or u can just put one of the lcd licen plate lights in and use that, thats what im planning on doing.

For the license plate lights, you will want to use V-LEDs:

Trust me. These bulbs are great. I have gone through 3-4 sets of LEDs to see which work best and these are the best by far. These will also work on your sidemarker and your clearance strip.

Don't buy generic LEDs. VLEDs have proven themselves time and time again on the boards.

Here is a quick picture I took a few nights ago. Sorry about the quality. I didn't use flash and I didn't use a tripod. Trust me, these are pretty bright. They also light up the floor.

Well... in person, they look HID white which has a hint of blue in it. The camera doesn't pick that up well. If you want it to be blue, they make those too but you will probably get pulled over. These definately look like (if not better) than a Lexus IS350.

Are these the exact bulbs that are in your license plate frame in the picture? And are these the same bulbs that are under the door panel (i think the courtesy light is what they are called)???

Double check the link and let me know! I love this color - if you have ever noticed lexus's license plate frames have this same color to them at night.

2) will the "HID white" color give me the blueish tint that i keep seeing in peoples' pictures of clearcorners/clearance strips??

Sorry guys. I have been busy.

The bulbs I posted (HIGH POWER LED 194) will work in the license plate, clear corners, and clearance strips. The HID white gives off a white with a slight blue tint to it.

As for the domelights and under the doors (courtesty lights), you will need these:

These are the same color as the license plate lights.

^^^ that was quick. I'm sure you will agree with me that my photo does those lights no justice.
