Parking Lamp Question
 
I have superwhite lights in my parking lamps which care clear(96 lx) and yet they still dont shine white...they have a low wattage i guess running to them...how can i make em white like they are suppose to be???

if they're not already, try cleaning the lenses first...

...otherwise, higher wattage bulbs will definitely make a difference in color. Who makes the bulbs you have? Depending on the company, you'll have a different output ( whether they say hyperwhite, arctic white..etc.)...Best bet would be to go with a good name like Polarg, or PIAA

they are APC super whites...my friend has the exact same ones and they shine brighter then mine...the side lamps are clean though...i just dunno why every bulb ive had for them has been dull...i will try one of the brands you named though and see what happens

I found some bulbs for the clear corners on our 95-96's that are 3X the brightness. Since they are the 194 wedge type, and only 5 Watts stock, they can be replaced with an 18 Watt bulb from xtremewhite.com, Part No. UW 912. I haven't bought these yet, but I'm going to change out the headlight bulbs for the PIAA Super Plasma GT H4 and change the corners at the same time. It sucks with this time change driving home from work in the dark!!!

that does sound like a good idea...let me know if they actually become white instead of a turdish yellowy color...
