i just bought some superwhite 3157 corner bulbs and i currently own a pair of 9007 PIAA superwhite bulbs, i just installed the corners and they turned out a blueish color, i dont think the white discharge of the PIAA's matching the blueish tint of the corner bulbs, what can i do to make the front match, get hyperwhite blueish tint bulbs in the headlights or does someone know where i can get a whitish tint 3157 corner bulb????? please help

 

come on, i really need some help on this, thanks

 

I wish I could answer your question but that's an issue that's kept me from going with super whites.

There are other posts where people are trying to match the headlights to the corners and I'm not sure anyone has had any luck.

That's kinda a tough one. I have only seen a few types of 3157 "superwhites" other than the PIAA's. You might want to check out Ebay to see a few different styles. Personally, I think you should leave the 3157's alone with the stock yellow/orange bulbs, so you don't get hassled by the cops.

First off (and im not posting this to make you look stupid or to make fun of you) it is illegal to have your corner lights blue. there is a stiff penalty for it "called impersinating a police officer"

this happened to a guy i know with a Dodge Ram 9) i think it is a 1999 either SLT or POS model not sure)

anyway it the truck is the color of a blue airhead. he has blue headlights that put off the bluest light i have ever seen. it actually looks neon coming down the road even in the day.

he had the blue lights in the parking lights and got fined over $750.

just a warning

Yeah I got pulled over for having Blue Ion bulbs one time. Man I was lucky to get off the ticket but still it sucked.

But the best way to see if your going to get pulled over for it.. Put a white piece of paper right in the front of your light.. if its blue to you.. its blue to the cop..

Right now I have Xenon Superwhites.. and even putting up the piece of paper.. it looks white..

So if its blue to you.. its probebly going to be blue to the officer.
