Super white bulbs that aren't blue
I'm looking for some super white wedge bulbs (194/168) size. The problem is I don't like that blue bulb look. I can't stand seeing blue dots where my parking lights and cornering lights are in the daytime. That's just me. I tried LEDs, but they just aren't bright enough. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Also, do they make a superwhite in a 74 size? Since they will go in the glove compartment and under the footwell, I don't care if they are blue.

Does anyone make wedge bulbs that are super white (trying to get a color to match Silverstars) that don't have a blue glass bulb? I really don't like the look of blue bulbs especially in the parking lights on the SC or in the cornering lights.
I have superwhite LED wedges, but they seem to be more blue than my 6000 HIDs and their output is not too great.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Could someone put up a pic of the Polargs?

SMD LEDs are wide-angle LEDs...they come in either 4, 6, or 8 smds and emit the light to the sides...to optimize refraction.

The more diode...the more brighter.

I love Sylvania Silverstars.
They arent too expensive either, their Lifespan is WAYYY Above what most aftermarket is, usually about the same as OEM Bulbs (YEARS)
they run $36.99 for a set of low or high beams at autozone. usually $40.00 a set at walmart.
EDIT: Toked, what part of NY are you in, im at Ft Drum.

Thanks, but we talking about the 194/168 wedge bulb here......NOT about the low and high beams.

Thanks for all the feedback. I actually have a set of 5 diode SMD LEDs in my parking lights right now and they are still pretty dim compared to old incandescents. Also the light given off seems a bit more bluer than the 5000k HIDs I have. I have a set of PIAA super whites that match well but during the day, they appear blue through the headlights which I detest. I can't imagine using the LEDs in the cornering lights as they would hardly serve any purpose. Any other suggestions?
Also, yes, I'm looking for lighting solutions for the 194/168 wedge bulb, not 9005/9006 headlights.

Have you checked the sticky thread yet? Lots of info in there.
