L23Tan is an unknown quantity at this point

What is the Brightest/Whitest 7443 and 194?

I got some HID's installed yesterday in my stock headlamps, and I was wondering what have you guys found to be the brightest and whitest Peanut Bulb and Indicator Bulb to use so it matches or gets close to the whiteness of the HID brightness?

Please post your replies and provide pictures as well if you can.

Thanks!

dirtySAMURAI is a splendid one to behold

You won't be able to find anything that compares in brightness to the HIDs. Color will always be off, also.

I guess you could ask gearbox what he used, but I think he came up short while on his search for color-matched bulbs...
