Close match to HID
I know this has been discussed and yes i have searched... Wanted to know which corner bulb (double filament turn signal bulb) you guys are running that would match HIDS the best, Pictures please is pretty much what im asking for, I know it won't be a perfect match but as close as possible... wasn't happy with how dim these were... Thanks in advance

oh okay i get what you were saying now... so are your running just a single filament bulb for turn, and no wedge bulb?

makes sense. So one signal from the harness that supplies the running light is blocked by the electrical tape...kinda still want the bulbs to closer match though.

yeah that might give it a nice look im gonna try to find the wedge bulb and do that led too. I'm looking into load equalizers. For those of you that are light and electrical savy is the load equalizer necessary? without it will the leds burn out prematurely?
