Bulb Group buy??

http://www.khltrading.com/Light-Page/VisualStyle.htm

If I can get this wholesaler guy to drop ship me a case of G-34 bulbs, or a mixed batch----- who would be interested in buying them for cost + shipping off of me... No handling charges, I am just going to charge the cost of Priority Shipping.. I will take care of packing..

I dunno how many are in a case.. But I will find all this out..

I would imagine they are prolly about 7-10 bucks a bulb and other website sell them for 20 bucks a piece plus shipping..
Since I know how running a business works I would imagine they want to make 50% on the bulb sale.. so they jack it up to 20 bucks..

So who is down for a bulb upgrade??.. let me know ASAP.

Nah the G-34 is for the Rear turn signal bulbs... I had Polarg M-14's in the rear turn signal and got busted by the Police tonight because they burned Hyper white, not amber..

the G35 and the G34 find out how much shipping if not maybe Ill pick up personally if around the area.

the APC ones are much better than the Polarg ones because the Polarg bulbs still glow orange even when they're not on, while the APC ones are perfectly silver when off and show no signs of being orange except when turned on

I got the G34's because they were the only "clear" bulbs available at the time. Now that those silver bulbs are out, I'd think they'd look much better than the G34 (also less expensive). Here's a comparo between stock and the G34 (pics were taken with two different cameras though):

Are those bulbs street legal? For example, some of the hyper white high beams are "too white" so that are not DOT approved. I ended up getting the PIAAs and they are just barely whiter than stock but they are legal. I'd rather not fail inspection for my turn signals. If they are DOT approved then I'd be in for a pair since they do look a little nicer than stock amber bulbs.

I'd be in for some silver/amber ones for the front. The APCs look nice, but any you can find (at those prices) I'd be willing to try.

Group buy down the pooper

Joe (Novawhite TypeS) found them for $5.95 a piece through APC.. I got 4 of them from APC .. 1157 bulb.. Silver when off and light up amber.. they look really good in the rear & front..

The company I contacted took a poop and told me to contact Philips and ask them.. those fluffers are not budging from 18 bucks per bulb.... Same with Polarg, they are asking way too much money.

APC http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/APC504129B

Besides who the hell you know that guarentees a Light bulb for 2 years!!!!... APC gets a huge from me for that price and that guarentee
