dont mean to sound like a jerk but what kind of a stupid Q is that????

you can put any color bulb you want in them...getting pulled over and gettting hassled by cops is a different story.

you can put them but i know that blue is illegeal so mose of us have gotten polarg which gives off a superwhite bluish tint ... you can put them in the back but you will have to get t either inspire tails or i have my old tails for sale under"custom tails"

mugsy76

its not that, i just got my tl, and have no clue what to do with it

i really havent seen any hooked up ones on the road, except for tint and rims

sup man welcome to the board. there are a few things you can do with our cars. just depends on which route you wanna take. first things first though, you shouldn't put blue bulbs in any of your exterior lights cause that's a sure way of getting pulled over and getting a ticket. just do a search on this site and i'm sure you'll get plenty of ideas on what you can do with your car.

Hehe. I assume you have a 3.2 TL not a 3.5 right? Just messing with you. Nice to see someone from NYC on the board. I'm from Brooklyn. Anyway, I used to have blue bulbs and its not worth it. Within a few weeks they start to turn a greenish color. Just get superwhite bulbs. They are white with a bluish tint. I love mine and cops never bothered me. I heard Staten Island cops pull you over for anything though so watch out. You can get amber bulbs to be safe. Let me know if you need help with something.

Oh, heres a pic of my Superwhite LEDs in the corners to give you an idea. They are MUCH bluer in person. I love them because they never fade.

Hey 96TL did you buy 6 bulbs for your corner lights and bumper lights??

96TL

No. Just the parking and corner lights. I cant find superwhite LEDs for the front blinkers yet. They're just Polargs. They look green compared to the LEDs though.

Hey Mugsy76 welcome aboard.
I have blue lights on the front end (parking lights and signals). I have had them for a year now and luckly I have not been pulled over, now watch seeing I mentioned it I will be pulled over tonight. I am from Queens by the way, eventually when we decide to have a meet we will actually get together.

96TL,
what kind of superwhites are you talking about? PIAA?? why did you put LED's on instead of regular bulbs?

96TL

Ever since I got 6000K HIDs all my Polarg superwhites (parking, corners & blinkers) looked green. It looked horrible. LEDs are the only type of bulb that emit a white enough light too match. They only made them in Superwhite for the corners & parking lights. I figured those are always on and looked the worst so I changed them. The blinkers arent that bad since they're not on all the time. Once they come out with Superwhite LED blinkers I'll get them.

96TL,

hey can you point us the way to those LED's?

TLover8888

would you be willing to part with the polarg corners and parking lights? i already have polarg turn signals so if its a reasonable price, i would be willing to buy them off of you...

96TL

Sorry but I used them for my guage cluster and I still have the blinkers bulbs on the car.

96TL

Sure. The ONLY bad thing is that they look a little dimmer than regular bulbs. LEDs are not as ambient so they dont spread light as good as bulbs so they appear dimmer. The color difference is TREMENDOUS though. Plus the fact that they never fade and never burn out. The ONLY way one of these will stop working is if the resistor goes bad and they are easy to replace and cost less than $1.00 at Radio Shack. PM me if you're still interested. They cost $16.50 a pair.
