sepudo is an unknown quantity at this point
I have a pair of those in my round light in the front of civics, they are nice because they blend in with the chrome of the headlightbut when they are on they give a nice amber look. so when I have the running lights on they are all amber and when I turn the headlights on there is only amber and bright white. nice even look. Intead of having amber turn signals, bright white headlights, and some low budget accent lights (round ones) If i find a pic of my set up I'll post it for those ppl without an imaginatioin.
the ones I got were $10 for a pair but for the look, they are worth it.

will those bulbs online light up with the turn signal? if so, I suggest you leave them amber. If they are constanly on with the headlights then I would go white only if the white matched the headlight white, which almost never does. the only thing worse than white and amber lights is white lights that are 2-3 diff types of white. that just looks tacky esp on a benz. hope it works out for you either way.
off topic: any suggestions on places to go at vegas? i'll be there 27th-30th.
pm with sugg, i dont want to get off the subject with this thread.

alright cool... well i have three bulbs in the front bumper, the healights which im getting 8000k HIDs, and then the running lights and turn signals. i got clear corners for the turn signals, so i was thinking hyper white for the rest of the bulbs. the HIDs are gonna be a blue tint, so now i dont know if itll clash or not. what do you think? i repped you! thanks for the help

it will clash and looky tack as sepudo said, go with a 5k on the hids will be a better match. you will still have the blue tint just from far away.

quick tip.
the higher you go with hids the less light you get. allways want to get something in the middle.

I agree with V on this one Honey, I would rather have a 5000K kit than an 8000K, but your driving it so whatever you want.

well the way you're saying you're gonna end up with HID headlights (blueish) which are gonna make you other white lights look tacky and pale. I would still keep your clear corners with the chrome bulbs that light up amber and also some chrome/amber bulbs in the front turn signals. that way your HID will look great next too your amber when they light up.

for example: like the IS 300, it has HIDs Amber turns and yellowish fog lights. IMO best looking set up, can't mistake it for anything other than a IS 300 when it comes up from behind.
