White Turn Signal bulbs

[mystik]

Anybody know any brands of 1157 bulbs that are ACTUALLY white? I bought a few " hyperwhites" off ebay that claimed to be bright white and none of them shits are even white! When I turn on my lights, the turn signals are light brown/yellow and get only slightly brighter when they are blinking. They look retarded with my bright white headlights and washers. Help me out...

u clear ur corners? if u have then u cant help but get that yellowish look...if u actualyl blink them or use Reelax's relay technique u will get the full potential of those bulbs...all of us have had that yellowish look especially clearing those corners.

yeah mines are cleared

PIAA Xtreme white 1157 will be a better match for your headlight....alot of us with cleared corners have them.

Could someone please post the tutorial for the bright rewire? Thanks

Is a bright rewire just replacing your headlight wires with a heavier guage wire (so they won't melt). If so... how far back from the headlight connectors do you go with the wires? Thanks in advance.

no..its not just a higher guage harness, although thats a good thing to do... somewhere around here there there is a tut for that rewire.. from pics it seems to work well, but personally, im no good with electricty https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Look for these bulbs "UW1157H MATCH YOUR HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS!!"

Here is a picture of what they look like when matched with APC "Super White" Headlights bulbs:

No, you actually rewire so the bright filament is always on instead of the dim one, then the bright turns off and the dim comes on to make it blink. Look at your corner when its blinking, when its brightest thats how they will look just normally on with that mod. You get alot of looks from it also.

There should be 3 scanned pages of a tutorial reelax did on it once, and you can buy the spdt relays from crutchfield.com

Its pretty easy to do, I'm not good with electrical stuff usually and mine worked right away.
