Default matching signals

i know this topic has been around but i tried searching and had no luck. well for my signal bulbs theyre BOTH polarg but damn why is one so yellowish?? what bulbs match out there? i've had these for over 2 years and now that i've taken a picture of it i've noticed how ugly it is



i have the euro clear bumper lenses (without reflector) if that makes any difference.

i've seen quite a few cars around the area lately where their bulbs are bright white and match perfectly. help please!

The reason why its so yellowish is because its a dual filament bulb. So in order for other drivers to see your turn signal light up, the parking light needs to be lighter than you turn signal. I'm sure there are bulbs out there that match better, but I can't think of any off hand. One of my friends actually modified his socket to use a single filament bulb that way it would match perfectly. You just need to do some rewiring.

If you're willing to modify your socket and buy single filament bulbs im sure they will match fine.

your white bulbs in the corners are illegal anyway. i have the polarg visual style bulbs in amber where the look chrome when they are off and amber when on. they match perfectly. they also make them in a white bulb too if you want to try them.
