Are you talking about the Orange Corner?
Orange Bulb w/deflector --> Clear Bulb w/deflector --> Clear Bulb w/o deflector --> Orange Bulb w/deflector
Is this patern?

Sorry guys, i put the orange bulbs back in my corners. I had Piaa Xtreme white blinkers but they didnt match our hid's at all.
I thought you would have been able to tell from the pic.

Here is what I did that might help. I took the orange bulb out and covered one of the tabs on the bottom of the bulb. What happens is the blinker still turns on but no ugly orange parking light when the headlights are on

Hope, this helps in the battle of the lights

What do you use to cover the tab?

I am sorry the most important part is the black electrical tape. Thats what I put over the tab.

It looks great with the HID's no ornage, superwhite to block the great color shinning down the road !!!

Mr TL, I had Polargs in my blinkers but then one blew out so i replaced them with the Piaa Xtreme whites but i didnt like them. The Polargs matched better than the Piaa's did.
So when i decide to get rid of the orange bulbs i will buy new Polargs. Hope this helps. I dont have pics of the Piaa lit up on my car and i dont really want to put them back in just to take a pic. :p

Yeah, it matters which tab you cover. After I cover the tab, I plug it in and then turn on the parking lights to make sure the light does not come on. Then I hit the hazard lights to make sure the light still flashes properly.

Did anyone try this ?? I really like the way it looks at night

Well, almost. One of the filaments burned out in one of my Polargs so i had no parking light on the left side for a week. I kept it like that until my Piaa's from Tim arrived. It looked ok but weird cuz it was only one side.

Yeah, I think it looks cool without any parking lights.

I have given up trying to match my retro fit HID's. Cause I figured there is no way they will ever be able to match true HID color.

i guess it's just trial and error with the little circles. Hey accordv6er where in Hampton Roads do you live? I live in Newport News. Do you know of any shops around here that will clear reflectors out of headlights? thanx
