Post Which Tail Light Bulb?

I just got my Inspire tails today (thanks Tim!) and now I want to know what your opinion is on which bulbs I should put in for the blinkers. I'm not worried about putting in a colored bulb because, as ppl have said, the diffuser in the blinker keeps it form showing through.

<ul>[*]Will Polarg M-10s fit? These are red bulbs. Are they bright?[*]I could find some yellow bulbs or reuse the stock ones.[*]I could say screw the law and put in Polarg M-12s, the super white bulbs.[/list]
What's your opinion?

Also, would my tailights be brighter if I replaced the stock ones with M12s? Would M12s fit? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Yeah... I just don't want to be pulled over for having white blinkers because with my luck I'd be wasted.

Will Polarg M-10s fit?

Will replacing the stock tail light bulbs with Polarg M-12 super whites make my tails brighter?

Anyone?

Well, I changed my tail light bulbs again... You won't find the tail light bulbs( #7440) in any other color from any accessory store unless it's special ordered... I found a website, WWW.LIGHTLENS.COM ..they had the amber bulbs and they look cool, IMO, I think I liked my funky orangy red bulbs I painted, but I'm sticking with the ambers..

Well, I installed my tails and thoght I'd better go get some colored bulbs. Tried some Polarg M-23s (red) but didn't like how the red showed up pink. I settled on M-1s (yellow) and I think they look pretty good. Brighter and more yellow than stock.

Good thing I got new bulbs too because on the way back from R-Sports (ya, I finally found it Mike ) I got pulled over on 520 for being in the carpool lane. I gave a BS story about how I was going to take the next exit and got off with a warning. A ticket for white tails would've sucked!

Polarg M-2's look the best, trust me! The red ones look pink & the M-12's only fit in the front. The M-2's are super super white.
