7443 but 7440 will fit too, they will only come on when signaling though.

The SilverStars I heard are good if you don't want blue headlights. They're more white/slightly yellow. The only way to get the HID look is to actually buy a HID kit.

I've never seen them in person. Most people who got them are satisfied with them though. Get them if you don't like blue headlights, but you want them whiter than stock. Do a search there is plenty of information and reviews on them.

i've tried piaa, but to me, polarg turn signal and parking lights are the best. i've had mine in for a year and they haven't faded one bit.

Well, PIAA bulbs may look like HID to a layman, but you can always tell the difference between HID and "HID". IMO PIAA bulbs are not worth it. They may look pretty, but they are known for burning out. Also consider that for the price of 3-4 sets of PIAA bulbs that you could actually buy a true HID conversion. Plus, the tinted bulbs create more glare while decreasing visability. Thats why I still use my stock bulbs.

hey...DONT get 7440's. they DO NOT fit like everyone says. they look like theyd fit, but they dont. you have to cut/file a bit of the plastic bulb socket for them to fit securely so that they dont fall out.

if i were you, id get a set of 7443 bulbs for your corners (the blinkers) and clip the 5 watt lead so that they dont blink. i know for a fact that piaa makes 7443 bulbs, but im sure you can find hyperwhites by other brands in those sizes. go on ebay or clearlights.com.
