I guess they look okay with clear headlights. There's that stupid reflection and all during the day. I'll have pics later tonight I guess.

Get "Silver Xtreme's" if you don't want the orange reflection -- either at www.visionbulbs.com (pricier, but original stuff) or www.autolumination.com ($4, but replica bulb):

Thread Link (Post #26) for pics of mine.

Thanks. Maybe I'll get used to it. I'm not getting the chrome coated ones cause they're way too dim and don't look good at night. I'll get some pics up in a hour.

That's cool.. yeah I agree about the dim-factor I'm thinking of switching to dual-LED's (same style as my parking lights, only in amber)

I don't like LEDs either, because they don't give that bulb glow, and it's gonna cost over $50 to get all the parts for me and the load resistor boxes.

Anyway, here are pics. I guess it's okay since I'm trying to blend in better.

Should I change anything like put a brighter parking light or just unplug it? I'm gonna think about it.

I like the look of amber bulb in clear corners, it gives it some color.

gear.. those pics look good

Regarding the parking lights – I the same issue as well, and I wanted a parking light that somewhat matched my H4’s.. so I got 194 ultrawhite LED’s. They match my driving lights at night (more of a “cool” kind of white) and they don’t reflect everywhere. But again, you probably don’t want LED’s. I’m sure you can find cool blue 194-type bulbs for your parking lights.

Thanks. I just unplugged the small clear parking light. So now it's just orange and the headlight. Looks pretty good.

Well it took some effort to match the front and sidemarker bulbs.

Fronts are 7443 amber made by APC (actually good quality because alcohol doesn't take the orange off)

Sidemarkers are GE brand 194--a perfect color match

Final pic. Any of you see those amber/yellow bulbs on the saturn ion? Those things look nice, and they're really bright.

Here's how mine looks now

Haha no. I just like the orange bulbs cause they're brighter, although still dimmer than clear. Those saturn ion bulbs are bright! Wonder if they'll fit...
