Yea man all you got to do is go to your local car parts store and check out their cross reference book or now they even have touchpad electronic catalogs that tell you what you need for low and hi. It also tells you about what bulbs you need for turn signals, side markers, dome lights, tail lights, etc etc......

As for brand if your looking for that hot purpleish look get Sylvania Silverstars at Advanced Auto Parts

silverstars are white...really white. they only have the slightest blue tint when you look at them from an angle.

well, i went ahead and got the nokya high and lows off of ebay they are supposed to have a slight tint of purple to them

will post on how they look when i get them

good choice i have a set of artic whites and artic purples. if u look a couple threads down for hyper white bulbs i put a pick of how they'll look.

yeah i saw that and it looked good to me
your post convinced me to give them a shot

If you look one post further down from Dro's you'll also see why choosing a headlight from a picture is a bad idea.

yeah, i know i read that post too....but drocay recommended them, that is why i gave them a shot....not just because the pic....i understand the pic doesnt necessarily show them right.

i went and bought some silverstars yesterday.. they are really really white.. they look nice but now i need to replace my turn signals and sidemarker lights with something just as white.. any reccomendations as to where i could find some 1157 and 94 lights that would be just as white as the silverstars....

i also saw that silverstar has turn signals that are blue when off and turn yellow when on.. anybody know the law in cali.. are white turn signals legal.. what about white sidemarkers?

let me know (i feel special.. my first post on here )

Hey Chris, congrats on your first post here. White turn signals are in fact legal. White sidemarkers are not legal. Thats kinda weird, because some sidemarkers come white from the factory, but NO turn signal comes white from the factory.. so.. go figure.

As for turn signals being white.. I haven't found one yet, I'm sure PIAA has one or two because I found a PIAA bulb that almost matches perfectly (it's a little blue but not much)

PIAA's star white matches almost perfectly; their extreme white goes into the blue. But PIAA makes a type 168 wedge bulb that fits in our sidemarkers and matches silverstars great (star white) . I think the model number is 19172

thanks for the help shid.. i went on the piaa website and found some xtreme white turn signals also.. model # 19228.. i might order those along with the 19172 both said to be xtreme white

Oooo good find. I keep skipping right over those at the website.
