Unhappy I Give Up On The Damn Bulbs!

After much searching to find clear glass corner bulbs (wanted a uniform look for the cleared h'lamps), I finally found Raybrigs 1157's and 168's on the net, and installed them. While they threw off much more light than the socks, they're still the same dull yellow color that isn't even close to our beautiful hid white. So, it looks like I'll be giving in to the blue glass hyper whites by PIAA or Polarg.

Am I missing something here? How the heck can anyone see when you signal a lane change when your side lights are clear?


Lemme know because I love the way it looks

well.. this is my guess. if you are expecting someone to see you signaling from the side... YOU ARE NOT FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF HIM. he should be seeing your taillight signal rather than your front. and if you're trying to change lanes behind him.. i would think a blinking light is adequate enough to let him know you are changing lanes. i haven't had any problems with people not knowing im going to change lanes... besides.. i only signal when im going to cut someone off. and only change lanes after im sure i blew past them.. not when they are on the side of me.. where i hope my signalling will get them to slow down to i can cut them off.

...I only cut someone off when I don't signal him. I always thought that's what cutting someone off meant!

my definition of cutting off is .. when i cut in front of them. there is less than a foot between my back bumper and their front. i dont want to be too rude when i cut them off.. so i give a little signal. that way they wont freak out.

lol.. i do the same thing.

it's kind of like a disclaimer - "...You hit me? I signaled, you pathetic SOB.. buy me a new car now."

i don't know where i saw it but i remember seeing a colored light bulbs with silver transparent coating over it... so the color doesn't show through the clear turn signal lens.... i meant you won't be able to see the color of the lights until it's on or blinking...

i found that website on yahoo.... i think i put "hid bulbs" as search criteria...

i don't know if this helps but hope you find what you're looking for.
