Front blinker bulbs?

For those people who have hyper white blinkers on the front of their 2003 TL... I was wondering what brand you guys use. Currently I use Polargs and was wondering if there is another brand that is more hyper white because the Polargs change color quite dramatically over time... (meaning that when new are a different color than when used for a while).

I'm guessing you want brighter bulbs than the Polargs, correct? Hzm82 has pictures of the Eaglite Superwhite bulbs on his car. Just search for Eaglite bulbs and you'll find the pic. he posted.

Eaglite aren't really a match to the HID in our car (there is no bulb that is a perfect match). I have PIAA, Polarg, Silvervision superwhite, Titan superwhite, and Eaglite in my futile search for the perfect bulbs. I believe out of all these brands Eaglite looks the best when lite. While the PIAA were brighter when not blinking, Eaglite has a Whiter/Bluer hue when lite.

However all these bulbs will FADE after a couple of months. You can't escape this fact. I can see that after two months my Eaglite as starting to fade, but they are 4 bucks per pair. I have 3 more pairs and will change them out when I think it's time.

If you want something that doesn't fade with time, you will have to buy some LEDs and even those have their own problems and I don't recommend LEDs turn sigs.

yes but hyper blinking can be corrected. The real problem is hot spotting. While during the nite it looks fine, during bright sunny days (FL). You can barely see it. Also having LED in the corner makes your side markers nearly useless. I don't recommend LEDs bulbs till they come out with a better design. Most of the LEDs bulbs on the market are have horrible designs and damn expensive. STAY AWAY. I wasted over 200 dollars trying to find the right LED bulbs and didn't come out with something I want in my car.
