Best headlight/corner bulb matchup?
yea i have some Nokya Arctic White bulbs (i'll be buyin HID w/custom projectors when i got some money so these will do for now) and i bought some PIAA Super Plasma corners...but they dont quite match...
see them here...
will the corners be always mismatched like mine? or did i buy the wrong bulbs...? i talked to the guy i bought em from and he said that they wont completely match...any suggestions? and also in the future...which corners will look the best with 4300k OEM BMW Hella HIDs? thanx in advance...

I'm doing Eurolites right now (i know... cheep as hell bulbs, but they actually look great. They're super bright, and really white) with PIAA platnium super whites, and that matches up pretty well. I'll see if I can get some pics up soon.
looking at your pics now, I can say that the PIAA platnium superwhites burn a lot more white. The only thinng I don't like about them it that they're blue when they're not on. I just always drive with my parking lights on anyway, =p
I personally don't see the reason for a blue bulb.. cuz when they're lit they're not actually white anyway. Also itz a pain in the ass trying to match them so they actually looks good... Even those LED whites are blue when u actually try to decide wheiter they are blue or white.
but according to ur headlights(looks blue to me) you might wanna try one of those LED white for your corners on the top and the bottom...

and once again...which corners will match good with (oem hella bmw) HIDs?
I meant.... replace the 168 bulbs in the front (upper/lower) side markers with LED bulbs. As far as I know.. most LEDs on the market pretty much has the same color. Meaning, they are all the same color tone.. so u won't get 2 different blue or white from 2 different sets of bulbs.
I'll post up a pick of my setup and u'll c what i mean......

Well, it's just my observation that the platniums burn whitter than the corners you have in the pics. They match really well with my Eurolites... you might want to check out their site to see a pic to compare coloring to your Nokyas.
