HID/lighting question

Re: HID/lighting question

what bulb is that? its the amber park/turn bulb right? its 1157 i believe and they do not make anything brighter. they have the diadem (silverstar) bluish coated signal bulbs that flash amber, but thats it.

Re: HID/lighting question

yea the amber park/signal light. but dang really they dont. well im new to lighting but would a universal 3000k hid kit work for the park/signal light? idk but i just think if they were both bright it would look better than just having 8000k hids in with dull not so bright parking lights right next to it.

i know that 3000k is yellow though.

Re: HID/lighting question

in the 02 model there is a different park and signal bulb. the park is a little 194 bulb, and the signal is a 7443. both of mine are white and i like them. i also have an 8000k hid kit and i think they look good.

in the newer models like yours theres just one bulb so it would look a bit different, but you can change them to white if you want. it will be way brighter but it is technically not 'street legal' although ive had mine in for almost 2 years and never had a problem before. you can see how it looks in the little picture up in the corner under my name.
