Light suggestions...

I got my clear bumper lenses in this weekend. They took a bit of work as they didn't align properly.

But anyway, I need some lighting suggestions... I'm going for all white sidemarkers and turn signals (as they're not legal but you won't get hassled for having them).

I have two different kinds of bulbs in at the moment... my turn signs look really nice but I can't find any sidemarker bulbs to match them. I've gotten 2 different kinds of super whites but none of them match in brand name or color.

Anyone got some good suggestions? I'd like to have the whole front (H4s, H3s, parking lights, turn signals, and sidemarkers) match to be to super white if possible...

And yes, pic will be up soon.

I went with LEDs for the side markers, the 2 small lights next to the headlights, and the blinkers themselves.

Went with white LEDs from superbrightleds.com

Could not be happier

Ok, I'll look for some of those bulbs TLx, thanks. The only problem is that you did a lot of conversions on your car... LOL Your foglamps look sick! I love that deep, solid yellow...

I should've mentioned that I was looking for bulb suggestions. I don't exactly have money to throw around to do conversions or buy kits...

You can buy the 7440 LED bulbs to replace the blinkers in the front in white. You can buy the 194/168 LED bulbs to replace the small parking lights next to the headlights AND the ones next to the front turn signals in white.

Then you can leave your fogs alone or you can remove the yellow covering on them and replace the bulbs with something that is very white.

I ordered some 8500k White bulbs with a very slight blue tint to go in my headlights and foglights. I am going to see just how white they are. If they are not to my expectations, I will replace both with Sylvania silverstars, for I have used those in my other vehicles.

The headlights are 9003ST/H4 and the fogs are H3s, Hope this helps

Bought my headlights and foglight bulbs from Eurodesignz.com, waiting on them to come in. They list 6000k on their website, but have not updated it to the 8500k, which only the blue are available in at this time.

I'm not too satisfied with Eurodezigns bulbs... I have their H3 (I did the H3C to H3 conversion already) and H4, both blue. The headlights look great but since the glass isn't natural, it fades... mine was blue now it's more of a white (the $7 replacement fee is killer and I'll be without headlight bulbs until they send a replacement). And due to the foglight housing's naturally off-whiteish color (yes, I removed the yellow condons- forgot to mention that) even the blue bulbs appear to be an off-white rather than blue or white.

In my experience, don't buy the PIAA superwhite wedge bulb (194/168). Bought mine, and it faded. It's more like amber now. With all the suggestion in this thread, I think I would trust the Polarg more.

Oh, not to mention, I bought the LED blinker. It has about 4 - 6 leds in that bulb. It looks nice at night, but in the day light, no one knows that I'm turning on my blinkers...Safety reason, don't get white blinkers. But if you do get a really really bright HID blinkers. lol jk

My LED blinker bulbs have 15 LEDs each and show up during the day.

If I don't like the eurodesignz head/fog lights, Ill send them back and just put silverstars in
