Does the color of the Polarg M12 match the color of the M6? i dont want my lights lookin all different colors and while im at it do PIAA bulbs last longer than Polargs or do they both burn out in due time

edit: i checked the FAQ and it says m12 for turn signal..whats the difference between m12 and m14 they are both hyper white 1157 bulbs?

just click on the lighting button. all your questions will be answered!!!! SCOOTER WHERE ARE YOU????? the m-14's are 21/5W bulbs and the m-12's are 35/5W bulbs. for me, piaa was a bigger name and i think better quality. time will tell i guess they are a little more $$$ so hopefully i did OK

Hey AztecRol,

Since you're the lighting king , what do you recommend in Polarg for the front/rear turn signals? I remember somebody on here used a G34 (or something like that) for the fronts.

OK, this is what I got:

Front turn signal:
Stock is a 1157 bulb
PIAA = 19228 = 27/8 Watts
Polarg = M12 = 35/5 Watts
Polarg = M14 = 21/5 Watts


Rear Turn Signal:
Stock is a 7440 bulb
PIAA = 19225 = 27 Watts
Polarg = M2 = 21 Watts

I like PIAA, so that is what I would go with. If you want Polarg, there are the sizes and wattage. All are Extreme Super White for PIAA or Hyper White for Polarg.

SCOOTER, where are you?????????????

y is it that im always fashionably late to the party??

real marginal difference with the M12/M14 comparison...go with the M12

Polarg is not my bag, baby (personal preference)...i'm with Aztec, i'm doin all PIAA since i already started with the 19224's for the road lamps...i think PIAA's have a better rap too...Polarg's i haven't heard all that much about, so i feel better with the PIAA's, but it's up to u

fact is it's not as easy to just ask which one is brighter/whiter since we're talking about different wattages AND different classes of lights (the class being determined by the shade of coloring over the bulb)...if u simply peeled off the covering on each class of bulb, it'll b easy to spot the best light, just go for the brightest one, which will have the highest wattage...but unfortunately, this is not black & white like that...the tint of blue covering on the bulb varies, along with wattage, so it's hard to answer "which is brightest", "which is best", etc. i will tell u that it's easy to recognize that higher wattage bulbs puts the housing at risk for burning...notice how i didn't say it WILL burn, there is a chance they will...unless all yer bulbs are the same wattage as the stock ones, in which case no worries whatsoever...that's y with interior bulbs, it's extra important to pay attention to the wattage...interior is much more suseptible to catching fire, not simply melting the housing on the exterior.

that said, check the bulb sites and choose what makes the most sense to u!!

again, sorry for my tardiness Aztec
