Default white lights

does anyone know where i could pick up a set of white light bulbs for my bumper lights??? right now i have silverstars for the headlights and i have the clear corner bumper lights with the plain 3157 or what ever light bulbs from the local parts store. they are clear but just look really funny when i have my silverstars on ((bright white)) and the bumperlights on ((yellowish white)) at the same time.

does silverstar make a clear bumper light to plug in? or is there another light out there that will give me the same color as the silverstars casue the yellowish lights just dont look good!

ok i didnt solve my problem. the 3157 bulbs that i bought are amber color...hence the 3157 number....

i belive the 3156 bulbs are the clear bulbs...and silverstar doesnt make a 3156 bulb...

who else makes a bright white light....the wedge style ( 3156,3157 ect...) and the small glass wedge bulbs for the side markers ( 194 bulb i belive)

When I was looking about 2 years ago I couldn't find any I was happy with. I finally just bought some 90w street glow bulbs for 10 bucks and soldered them to my factory bulb harness. those ******* where bright!!! I ended up melting the bulb cover off than the whole front lens fell off. I think they were a little to hot....

3157 is the plug configuration; not the color. You do realize that the bulbs need to be amber for legality issues right? The silverstars don't look bad when they're off anyway; besides, hyperwhites in the turnsignals looks ricey anyway.

He is right, your turn signals need to be amber to be legal. But are your talking about your turn signal lights or you running lights?
