LED's in the corners

i did everyone who has clear corners a favor and ordered some LED's from www.superbrightleds.com. i just wanted to see what white LED's would look like in the clear corners. so why explain when i can show? check it out:
PIAA super bright bulbs:



LED's:





They said they were supposed to be white, but if you ask me they look purple and blue. I'm going to switch back to the PIAA's for now and maybe try a different 1157 bulb. i think the amber/yellow LED's would be a good choice for those who want to keep it clean during daytime and yellow when it lights up. its a very sharp look. only downer is that because it takes less power to light up it blinks alot faster and looks ghetto. i also got reverse LED's, i'm going to keep them they look good:

i got them from www.superbrightleds.com, all LED's will blink faster. it's because it takes less voltage to power them and it speeds up the process.

if anyone wants these i put them on ebay:

You'll need to add load resistors to make the turn signals blink properly, and as for the 5 led bulbs, I've had them before and 3 out of the 5 led's blew out. I've got the reverse led bulbs in now and I think they just as good.

my lil bro bought some white leds from a mom and pop auto store and put them on his RX8. They match the hids on that car perfectly.
