Rep Power: 0 Bright white or blue headlight bulbs question
i own a 2002 civic ex coupe, i want to buy bright white or blue PA street legal bulbs for my headlights. i want to change the main headlight bulbs and the smaller corner bulbs, and i want them to match perfectly (color-wise).
anybody know where i can purchase all four bulbs of the same brand and/or color, and if so, what are the bulb numbers?(I've seen the 9003CB headlight bulbs, which is blue and 100% street legal, at walmart for around $18 for a pair, but not the smaller corner light bulbs)
Thanks
P.S.
Those corner light bulbs are a pain to change due to limited arm/hand space under hood!

Rep Power: 787 the cool blue sylvania runs at about 3800k color temp, compared to stock 3200k. so it will be whiter. in my experimenting, the raybrig hyper white is a very good match for the small 194 bulb. But I haven't seen a 7443 that matches very well. maybe polarg... check www.racinglab.com for accessory bulbs.

Rep Power: 0 silver star is better then cool blue in my opion its a brighter
and they matched my turnsignals pretty well at night but the problem was you couldnt see the turnsignals during the day
i had those chrome bulbs that where white and the seemed to match perfectly i got them at auto zone but you have to read the lable closely because they only have a couple of those and a bunch of the amber ones.

I think you have to remove the fender to change those corners

Rep Power: 0 Thank you for leading me in the right direction for the bulbs, i guess now i just have to weigh my options and pick.
im not too happy with autozone, i did replace my corner lights with regular philips brand replacements. i went to autozone first and i showed the guy the exact bulb i needed to replace and right away he said they dont carry it. then i went to strauss and showed them the bulb and they realized right away my bulb had melted itself to its harness, and for no charge they dug the bulb out and found me the brand new ones(like $5 for a pair). strauss just seems more knowledgable from multiple experiences with them.
i didnt have to remove anything, but i unhooked the brake fluid reservior(right behind the left headlight) from its holster and that gave me the littlest bit more room to squeeze my hand in there. still both sides were extremely difficult to access.

Rep Power: 231 I dunno the legality of Nokya's...but they are the only bulbs that I buy anymore...I have Nokya Arctic White's for my headlights...they give off a bluish tinge without over doing it...
