I just ordered:
194/168 LED White with 4 Bulbs Type *EXTRA BRIGHTNESS*
from www.autodynamic.com but they haven't shown up yet so I can't say... they're about $11.50 for the pair and the site has little pictures of what they look like when they're on...

Hey Mace,
I just picked a pair of Silverstars for almost $40 and they are yellow and fugly and not as bright as all the hype it has been given. Could you post some pics of your lights on so that I can see if mine are about the same?
I just don't get it. They were supposed to be badass and for $20 a piece they better as well be. Again, I just don't get it. My generic Hyperwhites were so much brighter and better looking (in terms of color) than the silverstars.
Thanks.

Can I use the Polarg 194's for all 4 bulbs, or does it have to be a pair of 194's and then a pair of 168's?
Also, is this an easy install on the ones next to the headlight? I just did my headlights and while it wasn't hard, it was definitely tight fitting and a little more time consuming than I thought. Thanks!

well since ery one is talkin bout the head lamps and the lights i have been lookin at my head lamp and on that corner bulb it has that reflectice shyt over it i was wondering if there was a way off taking it out becuase this would make you light brighter too..... well any one got any advice

Funny you ask, because I actually took it off and it doesn't look to bad. It does help brightness a little but not by much.
An easier way of actually taking apart the headlight is simply by leaving it in place, then turn on your headlamps both low and high beams and let it heat up on its own. Then slowly just pull back the front and it eventually will separate from the base. Then from here you can remove that corner piece or paint your headlights.
You still have to take the bumper off to take out the physical headlamp itself though. It just saves time and harder work from baking it and using butter knives.
BTW, I did this just to clean the insides of my headlights but the yellow stuff will never never go away. Time to get a new headlight...

I'm starting to get very frustrated with these &%#* corner lights. I've tried two different sets now, both claiming to be white, and both have been blue. I just need plain old white. Not yellow. Not blue. Please...anybody...help....
Also - anybody want some blue corners? Reeaaaal cheap....
