I recently put on clear cleanses on my markers and put on Amber 4-LED bulb on the side markers (194/168 size bulb). They aren't as bright as id like to have them, but at night they seem decently bright. They look reddish during the day and a dark amber at night. The front markers use a 7440 bulb. I was wondering which would be a good and very bright Amber bulb to put in place of the stock bulb for the 7440's and the 194/168's?
Also, my one piece chrome headlights will be in shortly. (got them for $130, waiting to get and make sure they are perfect like advertised) I am curious to know what everyone recommends and a good place to purchase these bulbs. I need H1 and H4 bulbs correct? Id like to have them a little bluish, but mostly white. The kind of blue when u have to look twice to make sure u saw a blue tint or not.
I also need information on what size bulbs are in the rear lights. Such as the brake bulb, reverse bulb, marker bulbs.Thank for everyones help!!!
For the 194/168 amber bulbs I got polarg ones off ebay they look pretty nice at night. You could get so many "hyper white" lights man. I personally have on silverstars which give a slight blue tint.
Just to make sure i know it or not, to install the one piece headlights i just cut off the USDM harness and connect the matching colored wire to the wires on the JDM headlights?
Just got my one pieces in today! came with bulbs, i may change them later on.
It helps but, im just confused with the wiring. I have the one piece headlights with all 3 bulbs with 2 wires coming from each. right beams (inside bulbs) have 2 wires, both are red/blue. The low beams (outside bulbs) have a black wire and a red.blue wire. The corner bulbs have black and a red/black. I just dont know the wiring situation. Any help is appreciated.
the lights may blink slower or faster because they are not the same wattage as the regular bulb and it fools the ecu to make the blinker fire really fast because the car thinks taht the bulb is bunt out, because there isnt enough wattage for it to sense, or at least there isnt the same amount as your regular bulb, this is why it hyper blinks, take any one of your blinkers out, it will make your blinkers blink very fast to let the driver know that the blinker is out and now needs changing

I already know this. However, LED's draw less wattage than regular bulbs, thus I'm curious why his car blinks slower with LED's.

Correction. My inside bulbs have 1 wire red/blue, and the other is red/green.
On the stock headlights, the inside bulb has a red/blue and a red/yellow. The outside bulb has a black and a red/yellow.
Is this how I install the one piece headlights?
USDM ----- JDM
Inside bulb - red/blue -----> red/blue
red/yellow -----> red/green
Outside bulb - Black ------> Black
red/yellow ------> red/blue
Do I have anything mixed up? I just cut the wires, and then connect the wires in the pattern i placed above?
Is there a way to connect the wires without having to solder? I dont have a soldering iron..grrr.
I believe it isn't because of the wattage, but the resistance(Ohms) that causes the change in blink rate... All you have to do is connect resistors inline on the positive side, not sure which rating though..
Im planning on installing my headlights saturday. So i kind of need to know ASAP hehe....I just cut the wires and connect them to the one pieces? If the order i typed above is correct, please let me know...Thank you.
