Thumbs down installed polarg hyper white bulbs

And they are terrible! So dim compared to the stock clear bulbs and not very white at all compared to the 4300k HID. It actually looks okay by itself, but then the headlights make them look like absolute rice. With the turn signal, they actually almost match the headlights.

So that's my situation. I think I might try the orange signals again or go back to clear. What a disappointment.

the 7443 in the turn signals is what I mentioned. I also put the 194 in the license plate lights and it looks decent. The signals don't match at all. So I'm gonna try amber again.

I have the poalrg bulbs with the cool blue headlights and everything matches great, but you are comparing to HID's. There is no way you are going to find a decent marker light that is that white.

I doubt you will. But now I'm using orange bulbs and they look pretty good at night. And hyper whites will be very dim and hard to even see at night.

Actually...I switched back to stock clear bulbs. Looks best during the day and okay at night. I'm leaving it like that.

They still haven't been released. Then you have the problems of the blinking signal, which would just burn the bulb out. I think I'm gonna guy a really cheap kit from ebay or something and just stick those in the parking lights. That or what about the xenon gas signal lights?

I think the parking lights match well (in color) with my 4300k HID's. I didn't use the turn signals, though.
