Talking lights

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend clear white bulbs for the clear corner lights? One that is compatible and won't burn out after a year or and that would not effect the wiring? Also Im looking for bulbs to chage the lighting in the interior. So, if someone can recommend brands and any websites that would really help me out.
Thank You

As far as interior lights go I used PIAA Xtreme Whites and they look great. Nice white light with a hint of blue. Much better then the dingy yellow from the stock bulbs. I ordered mine from optauto.com

Guys help me out I'm confused here. For the clear sidemarkers, should I go with the PIAA xtreme white bulbs or the PIAA super white leds? What are the differences in terms of color, brightness, and light dispersion. Thanks.

Keep in mind that clear corners are illegal. Putting a bulb in them that is anything other them amber in color just draws more attention to them and could result in a ticket.

That said, I have clear corners that came with an amber bulb already installed. They look legal when lit. Some people don't like the fact that you can see the amber colored bulb through the lens when the lights are off. There is a chrome coated bulb that will emit an amber color to alleviate this problem.

I know that's not what you asked about, but I don't want you to be P.O.'ed if you get a ticket.

Yeah I am aware that it's illegal but thanks for your concern. I've had the clears with the amber bulb for a while now and its time for a change.

OK, then in that case I believe the LED's will be brighter then the Xtreme Whites. There was a guy that posted a pic of his clear corners with LED bulbs and they were very bright. I can't seem to find the pic but here is a link to some reviews:

My understanding is, as long as the bulb isn't blue, and since the corners do not blink, that they *CAN* be white?? Maybe it's just Florida like that?
