As far as i know APC doesn't make 893/899 bulbs, they may now i haven't looked lately. As for the bulbs from lightlens.com you want the ones that say this:

"UW1157H MATCH YOUR HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS!!
1157 Ultra White Halogen Signal Bulbs
(twist mount, 2 contacts on bottom, 12V 50/30W)"

The brand is Matrix Racing.

Out of all the millions of bulb companies out there...is there an super/ultra white signal bulbs that doesn't have an actual colored glass bulb. I would really want to keep a clear glass bulb look.

i believe there are "chrome / titanium" bulbs that burn amber or hyper white but are silver when off.

Yep, I got 'em in my corners. They are made by APC and were $6 each at Pep Boys. They look great with the clear corners and still keep me legal.

Thanks Fishboy55 and Reelax. Went over to Pep Boys, got them APC bulbs. The titanium bulb is definitely a way better look.

Only thing though, for being called a "super white" them things don't look bright at all. It says it is a 27w, that's the same as the stock one.

Is there a titanium bulb that is equally as bright or close to the factory headlamp brightness? Got to be, with all them companies right?

Thanks.

if you want bright corners... do a search for my corner light rewire on this board... i think BGR also posted it in the tutorials. it makes the corner lights as bright as the headlights:

here's my car but keep in mind i have HID and JDM headlights so it may look a little different...
