I'm pretty sure autodynamic.com has a chart too. I bought both my clears and bulbs from there. The turn signal was the hardest to find (especially in amber), but they had it!!

After doing some reseach, here is what I found out... There are two kinds of bulbs in the bumper light: the one that blinks when turn/emergency signal is on, and another one is on the side (identical to wedge bulb).

The one that blinks:

- White P8711W (M-2) 7440 12v 21w T20
- Amber P8711A (M-1) 7440 12v 21w T20

The one that on side (wedge):
- White P8713W (M-4) 194 12v 5w T10
- Amber P8713A (M-20) 194 12v 5w T10 (sorry no pic).

Hopefully they alright. Let us know how it goes.

I have amber bulbs in mine but would like to do some super whites. Has anyone had problems with the cops using white instead of amber?

Okay yesterday I got clear headlights and I just thought you all should know that the guy at the shop where I bought them (this was my very first "mod" so don't call me a baby but I didn't know how to install them so I got them done at an import shop...) said that the Piaa lights only last like three months, but the ones he put in my car have lasted in his Integra for over a year. They're called Mega 2000 or something like that (I dunno, the packaging was kind of bare and what writing is there is in Japanese which I can't read). They cost $45 for a pair, and they are niiiice and bright.

The only problem is that they're only 80W, which is probably why they last so long (as opposed to 100 or 105 W like all the Piaa ones are), but they're still a BIG improvement over the stock bulbs' 51W.

Just wanted to let you all know.

I forgot... I have a question about high beams... Is it important to get high beams to match the low beams? I already got the little lights to go in the corner and they look fine, but when I turned on my brights, it looks really dumb. Let's say I can't find high beams in that brand I bought last night, and I have to get some other brand that aren't the same color; will that also look dumb? I'm having trouble visualizing and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen someone with mismatched lights. Thanks!

 

I used to have hi/lo mismatch. It really looked ugly. I have Diamond Blue 80W on low beam and recently changed high-beam from stock ones to Diamond Blue 100W. Looks ni-i-i-ce with matching wedges and I have fogs with Diamond Blue 55W bulbs. Strange thing, my fogs are brighter than lo beam.

Never heard one word from them.....they suck....and their website looks like a 'tard designed it. Fuck 'um. Incidently, I bought the yellow turn signal lights that someone on here recommended after doing some research. It turns out they were the wrong bulbs. In the turn signal assembly, there are two bulbs. Both are the push-in type. The actual blinking bulb is a little bigger than the one on the side of the turn signal. The manual shows a fucking bulb with a metal base. THe manual is not right. Does anyone have a number for the correct bulb? My car is a 1998 3.0 CL.

Ok good I'm glad you agree with me (that it looks bad to mismatch). Now I have a rationalized excuse to spend more money.

 

Refer to pics above.
