Are The Polarg M4 Bulbs What Everyone Uses For Corners...??

Just a simple question before I go and spend a few bucks on these bulbs. I'm goin for what Klepto and Nippon both have, with the bright corners. It seems that the generic ones I bought from AutoZone, that are on my car right now, arent as bright.

I'm about to get the Nokya Arctic Purple Stage II headlight bulbs off eBay, and now I'm lookin for better 194/168 bulbs to match.

Heres the exact combo I'm lookin for, that I happened to find in a search...





^^^^ That's Nippon's car with the Arctic Purple, and in that thread, he said the corner bulbs were Polargs.

So are these the type of Polargs that I should be getting....

....???? Thanks for any help!

The nokyas arent too bright either, go with the 9005 conversion for the most light output. Ive had the nokya arctic stage II and they had a blue tint which I didnt like too much and the light output wasnt any better than the stock bulbs.

I have that exact set up, with the nokya head lamps and the polarg m4 corner bulbs. They're both definitly white to the point of looking blue/purple. I think they match up really well...

Not too bright, huh? You're one of the few people that I've seen say that about the Stage IIs when I did a ton of searching around the forums about em. I think I'm willing to take my chances, though.

Perfect! That blue/purple look is exactly what I'm goin for. If theyre anywhere close to what Nippon's pic looks like, then I'll be totally satisfied.


Thanks for the help, guys! Any more help is obviously appreciated, too.

Only thing youre paying for when you buy Nokyas is the color and brand name, do the conversion, youll like it so much better

are these the bottom corners? in the clears?
if so, sweet.. my bulbs in there do not match the rest of the lights..
theyre whiter than stock, but still a little yellowish.. not as white/blue as my nokya II
whatever bulbs are in the sides in that picture match really well too.. better than what i have. mine are the right color, just pretty dim..
any idea what those are too?

you should buy two sets and send me a pair.
you'll save 15% on shipping, and i can just mail you a bunch of stamps and some money, and you can send me one set of lights.
yes?

I agree--the Nokya's were not any brighter than my stock bulbs. I went with Silverstars and like them much better. The nokyas were too blue IMO anyway

the nokyas are just cosmetic and kill a lot of your light output. PolarG's will work, I don't have them though, I have PIAA super whites

PIAAs are def. not cheap. Last time I looked, they were like 80 for the set. If im gonna pay that, might as well come up with another 120 and buy hids.

The nokyas are def. not as bright as one would like them.

We'd be saving like 2 or 3 bucks, at most, if its just 15% off SHIPPING. I personally dont think thats even worth it. Just buy a set, yourself.

Nice pic. Looks nice and blue. Those also look a lot brighter than the bulbs I currently got in my CL. I'll definitely be purchasing a couple sets of these.

ajtcl...

Looks like you got almost the exact setup that I'm lookin for, only I'll be goin with the Arctic Purples, and I dunno if I'll be keepin the amber turn signal. Are there any turn signal bulbs that have the bluish white of these Polargs??

Thanks for the help, folks.
