Need Help on the Lightbulb Replacements....
Hey everyone,
Since that my corners are cleared now, I hate the ugly white colored bulbs. I need to know model numbers, if possible, of the small and large bulb replacements to match the HIDs as close as possible. I've already got the PIAA "Plasma" for the little bulbs in which I was told best match the HID coloring. Any idea of the model number and where I could possible get the large matching bulbs? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The cheapest I've found is http://www.autobarn.com/.
There's no tax, and if your order is over $100, shipping is free.
I'm getting the following...
Name Code Qty Each Options
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIAA Mini Bulbs PIAWEDGEBULBS 3 13.95 Part # = 168 Wedge Xtreme Super White (#PIA19172)
PIAA Mini Bulbs PIAWEDGEBULBS 1 13.95 Part # = 7440 Xtreme Super White (#XXX19225)
Subtotal 55.80
Shipping 6.50
Tax 0.00
Total 62.30
I ordered 6 small bulbs (168 wedge) and 2 larger bulbs (7440).
small bulbs - 2 for corner parking lights, 2 for side repeaters, 1 for trunk, 1 for rear license plate illuminator.
large bulbs - 2 for corner blinkers
The headlights are H1s.
Also, PIAA doesn't make hyper-white dome lights in our size. I went with Raybrig, I think.
I'll have pics up soon.

Are you sure that the Super White is the same or close to our HIDs??? I orginally had the Platinum wedges and they guy at Robocar was telling me that the Plasmas were the closest color to the HIDs. But thanks for the info on the other parts though..

I would believe PIAA before the Robocar guy...
