corner bulbs that match nokya arctic whites..?

i've had my nokya arctic white headlight bulbs in for a couple months & i love them... but i have PIAA extreme white bulbs for my corner lights and they totally don't have the same white-ness as the nokyas... this annoys me cuz i'm way too much of a perfectionist

has anyone found accent bulbs that match the nokyas?

I had Nokya Arctic Whites before the HID retro, and I think I had the Polarg M6s to go with them and they didn't match. It's REALLY hard to match them up.

bottom corners are stock OEM.. gonna change those out soon

these are the standard hyper white push bulbs from autodynamic.com

i think they raised their prices to 2 or 3 bucks each.. they last a long time

i have these ones:


http://216.82.69.117/detail.asp?PROD...=194-168-WHITE

they may seem pretty pricey for 2 bucks each.. but its worth it..

remember to use gloves during installation! increases life of bulbs

i got mine on ebay super cheap... i can't remember how much exactly, but i'm pretty sure it was under $20 including shipping. they've lasted me almost 5 months so far too, which in my experience is pretty good for non-OEM bulbs!!

Are your Polarg corners big purple LED's?

My Polargs don't go so well with my Silverstars.

i just got them in the mail today from autodynamics (quick shipping *yay*)... i put them in the corner lights and they look GREAT... sooo much better than my PIAAs.

my only problem now is that i can't get my driver's side bumper light assembly to come out!! (i got 2 sets of the bulbs so my bumper lights will match the corner lights). i've taken that thing out at least 3 times... i can unscrew the screw, but it doesn't pop out...? any ideas??

well.. unscrew as much as possible.. and then try pushing it <------ twords the left, at the same time pull it out

so

push <---

and pull

it should pop out because of the spring behind it
