anyone have blue reverse lights?

supposedly the reverse bulbs are #921. but there is no such thing as 921 in the aftermarket world. though they are interchangeable with the 168 bulbs, which nearly every company makes

i think the 168 are smaller bulbs, so im wondering if they put off enough light.

anyone have superwhite reverse signals? if so, what brand/bulb number? do they put out enough light?

thanks

I just ordered the PIAA extreme white 921 bulbs for my backup lights and the Prolarg 1156 amber bulbs for my rear turn signals.

Must be a type-O

Backup ligts use W2 or 192 type bulbs.
example: Polarg M6

Walked out to the garage and pulled the bulb for the backup light for my TL-S. The bulb for it is a 921. Could be different bulb type for the 99-00 cars.

I have the 02 tails and harness on my 01.. and I used my old bulbs, works fine..

Polarg M-6 are supposed to be 192, maybe it's the same as 921 in another country?

I can second that. I have the EXACT same bulb/package and bought them off this site. I just never thought they were that blue at night! I thought they were white.

Polarg Reverse Lights - Type 168/921
Polarg M6 (pair) - Replaces: type 168/921
Hyper-White Small Push-In 18w=36w

I must be 20 years behind on upgrading cars. I have never heard or seen blue rear lights.

Lightbulb I do....

...have the Polarg M6 bulbs. They're blue when off and hyper-white when on. The old amber tails and the newer clear tails use different bulbs for Reverse. New tails use the wedge bulbs - old uses the push 'n twist type.

Tell them they are H.I.D. backups

Seriously, thought, how often do cops see your back-up lights...
