I've searched hi and low since I came home from the install, and this is the closest I could come:

I'm thinking about getting a pair just to check them out. Can't really tell from the photos or descriptions whether they'll do the job.

Thanks for this Rick, they really do make a heck of a difference!

I have the Philips Silvervision indicator bulbs (UK car - clear diffusers) that have removed the orange tinge from the corners but I can't find any decent 'hyperwhite' bulbs for the marker lights over here

I did some experimentation last night -- painted an amber bulb silver (not high-temp paint) and lit the bulb for 15 minutes on the bench with a DC power supply. First, the paint smoked (not good). It stopped smoking after a while, but the paint flaked off to the touch after it had cooled.

I will experiment with hi-temp silver paint today.

I just have to say, looking at the picture of airgate's car head on, that airgates car looks really pissed off!

BTW, what is the light or reflection of light on airgate's hood right above the foglamps he has in the grill?

JFY,

I'm going to try the white and amber, I think.

Last I checked, Silvervision bulbs only work with the Euro or JDM plugs. The USDM lights use a different bulb if I remember correctly. Does anyone know if there's a replacement LED bulb for the turn signals? I've used the smaller LED bulbs for the sidemarkers so I'd assume someone makes one for the turn signals?
