I was just wondering what type of bulbs did you guys use after installing clear corners? I just received some clear corners and i was wondering what brand of color would look good?

i have some APC brand blue bulbs from autozone, (5 bucks for a pair). had them for a year in the front and back. i have stock corner lenses. they come out white when the parking lights are on, and light blue when the signals turn on. pretty bright tho....

I have the stock ambers. :)

I think www.nopionline.com may have those bulbs. There are probably better places though.

When i had clears, i used Amber bulbs, But i put IRIDESCENT POLYPROPYLENE wrap, several layers of it over the amber bulb so that during the day it looks clear and then when lit its orange. Only cost a few bucks the wrap looks like this:

you can get it at any craft store.

You can also buy the bulb itself but it cost like 30 bucks, it looks like this http://dafnwebpd.sylvania.com/os_filenet_pages/FnDocIdDisplay.asp?docid=003679555

I got a can of high-temp paint and put a very light coat on the stock amber bulbs. They're a little bit dimmer, but otherwise they look great.

If you have HID and wanna match those white or would like to get a REALLY clear corners. (the wrap 714GUY using sometimes give ur clear corners a tint of the wrap during the day)

Stealth auto bulb - silver bulb that lights up in amber. www.matrixracing.com
I am now using white LED bulbs just to match my HID. A little more expensive cause you have to use capacitor to get rid of the bulb out warning cause LED has a much lower wattage than the ordinary bulbs. Easy installation though. (there is also amber too) more info...

I'm definately planning on upgrading to amber leds sometime soon.

BTW, it's a resistor that you have to connect with the led, not a capacitor.

Thanks everybody for you input. I was wondering if the buld for the turn signal was 1156 or 1157, or do the both fit?
