back to amber lights?
Should I put amber parking lights and sidemarkers back in? I have clear headlights and HID. My cousin was telling me it would look better. If I do, it would just be the turn signals and markers. I would unplug the round parking light.
I could also get those chrome covered bulbs...hmmm don't know how good they are.

Rep Power: 811 Hmmm, tempting, but I don't like the orange reflection. What are those hyper amber bulbs about? Like the saturn ion has I think. Now I'm just using the stock clear bulbs and they're a bit dull. Maybe I'll try it and see how it looks. Haha, there's security guards sitting near my car though. LEDs would be cool cause they're clear, but then I'm gonna have to get four load stabilizers so they don't hyperblink. Too much trouble.
I'm just trying to be different. All those ricers with their tezzas, mufflers, and hyper whites all over are really common now. Oh man when I went home for a week, I saw 10+ cars with tezzas each day. Everyone wants a rice ride these days. This is why my exhaust and intake are off, and now the only rice-like (non stock) thing left is the clear headlight.

Rep Power: 811 Yeah pics please 
I think I'm wanting something different. I only want the headlight and turn signal to function. No small 194 parking light.

flash was on:
Flash off, head on shot:
Another Side Shot:
In my opinion, i think amber would look bad ***.
I kept my style like this for a while now, ever since i got rid of the orange reflector.
Enjoy!

Rep Power: 811 Ooh those pics are nice. That's what I want mine to look like (similar to the older civics). So maybe I should get a hyper white bulb? That might look even more ricey though. Okay I'll try amber and see. Sidemarkers are gonna suck to get to.
If you want the hyperwhite, go for it, thats what i did.
since your not all out on your car, i say go with the amber because it seems to fit your "flow"
i really dont know what im trying to say, but your full of ideas, so think about it.

if you decide to go with the hyperwhite, go with these, i bought mine from this guy a while back. (100%)

Rep Power: 811 Well it didn't work out. I put amber apc into the turn signal and they look good. However, the amber 194 in the sidemarkers is WAY off color! They're the ones that came with the apc sidemarkers, but they're a terrible orange. I'm just gonna disconnect the sidemarkers for now I guess until I figure something out.
Now I'm considering hyper white, but I want the signals to match the sidemarkers. Now does polarg make a 194 that will match their 7443? And how white is your polarg compared to the headlights? I want them to match. My hid is around 4300K. Thanks for your help.

Rep Power: 811 Wow thanks man! Yeah the amber isn't gonna work unless I don't run sidemarkers. Now I'm just gonna order the 7443 polargs. So it's a pure white right? I hope it's gonna match the headlights. For some reason, they look wierd in your pics.
But polarg is the only good company that makes 7443. So I'll try them out. Thanks and I'll pm you my addy.

Here's what i can tell you:
MTEC H4 2x Bulbs (ebay)
Polarg 7443 (ebay link above)
Polarg 194 (wedge bulbs)
All of those match up perfectly in pure "hyper" white.
They are not the dull color as they look in the first picture, thanks to my camera for having the flash on.
But you can see from the 2nd, 3rd pic, they are very nice, and i can assure you that they match up for me.
What brand bulbs you using for your main lights again?

Rep Power: 811 Amber did look sweet, but the sidemarkers aren't matching.
Neon, I'm using catz HID 4300K xenon bulbs.
I ordered 7443 for the signal, and I'll use your 194 for sidemarkers. I'm probably gonna need another set for the license plate lights. dang.

Rep Power: 811 Okay, the hyper whites looked terrible. Good news is I found some orange bulbs for the sidemarkers that match the turn signals. So now I've got the orange bulbs. Looks really nice except during the day when the orange reflects. The chrome coated bulbs are too dim though, so I'll stick with these. Oh and orange 194 I got for the sidemarker is made by GE.
