    J, i just haven't found a size for the corner lights. I know the corner light bulb is tiny as fawk. for the signals, just remember to get the matching sizes thats all.

    i just kept the 194 bulbs...... i have clear corners with amber bulbs...... look sweet. kinda jdm'ish.

    led's will look like crap in the corners and such cus it does not glow evenly, just spot type intensity, actually looks dimmer in comparison and dont fill out the lense.... JMHO

    im looking to fill out the corners but because im gonna have blue lights i want my corners to match, so jus get the 194, but blue?

    same for the signals?

    and i thought LEDs woulda filled it out more? my buddy did it with his dome lamp n it lights his car up or is that jus because its inside the car?

    I have that also, it looks killer!


    Just be careful, blue bulbs in the corners & signals (mainly signals, because they blink) are illegal here. They're considered emergency colors.


    I don't like most of the LED's cause they're directional. If you look at 'em from the side you can't see 'em. Plus, some of 'em don't seem as bright. Like they don't light up the whole light.

    Go for it then! No LED's tho, just do bulbs. I think they look better.

    Some LED's are directional, so you won't see 'em from the sides. I'll get a pic of my clear corners with amber bulbs real quick.

    I would do some more checking on the corner lights with the cops before you do anything.
