Blinker bulbs?

Ok. I've got cleared headlights, and the 'HID look' bulbs; the H4's. Hahahaha, yeah laugh, get it over with. Feel better? Good. Now, it looks really stupid with the blinker light and the parking light bulb the stock color. I was wondering what type of bulbs those are so I can get them in hyper white as well. It's too much of a pain the remove the headlights just to pull them out and see.

Thanks.

Hmm...well you don't have to take out the headlights to change your blinker bulbs or your parking lights. You get to them through your wheel wells. If you are getting to the one on the left, turn your wheel all the way to the right and vice versa. Get a flattipped screw driver and pull the tab out and pull your wheel well cover down and you have access to the bulb area. Anyway...the brake lights are 7443 bulbs and I haven't been able to find them locally in hyper white anywhere. The parking lights are 168 or 192 bulbs ( I think...you could search the forums to make sure too...there is a bulb chart posted). However, you should note that the wattage of the parking lights and the turn signals are not as high as the headlights so even when they are "hyper white" bulbs, the won't be as bright as the headlights and will still look like they are a different color, although not yellow anymore. It's an improvement but not a sweet looking as you might think. Whatever you do, don't do like some people who have taken the time to clear their headlights and then put in orange bulbs. WTF?

Orange bulb to stay legal.

Anywho, I might be selling my set of H4, 168, and 7443 bulbs (all hyper white). I'm moving on to TYC projectors

Everyone is right with the sizes they have given. I cleared my headlights and i recommend just getting xtreme white PIAAs. i have them along with mtec h4's and they look great. I love clear headlights.

Yeah I know it's to stay legal in some places. Where I live, you can have white blinker bulbs on a car. It says "White, amber, or any shade between white and amber". But some folks have to have orange blinkers. Anyway, my point is, they do ALL that work to take the headlights apart and take out the orange...umm...like...just to put orange back in it again with the bulbs. So like umm...why bother?
