i bought some sylvania parking and blinker bulbs for my '04 MDX. both white. but next to the hoen xenonmatch titanium headlights and fogs, the sylvanias look crappy? is there another company that makes the blinker and parking bulbs that will better match the hoens?

Did you use Sylvania Silver Stars?

Are you trying to match amber to HID white?

In my opinion, you cannot beat the Silver Star 3457 ambers with HIDs and cleared corner headlights.

The Silver Stars burn amber when lit and when off are a blue/clear color - this shows up in the reflecter as a pearlescent effect.

See attachment.

I will post them illuminated next to HIDS in the next posting.

no i'm looking for a white, not amber parking/blinker bulbs. i do have clear corners and use white bulbs. not sure if the ones i have are silverstars,i know they're sylvanias. when headlights and parking lights are on together the parking lights look not that white next to the hoen headlights. i don't expect to find a parking/blinker bulb to match the hoen but one that will look more white.

Did you ever consider LED replacements for lamps?

yes i was thinking about the LED's but the site says they are definately not as bright as normal bulbs. i need something pretty bright and pretty white.

ACX, how are the cleared headlights. You were the first 04 MDX that I did and they came out awesome.

I see that you got your rims. I want to see some pics of the cleared headlights and rims...

Anything you get in there is not going to be a good match. I think the bulb is a 1157. Since its dual filiment it will look like a dull white kinda brownish when lit. The only time they are white is when you blink. I think you can buy a 1156 and it single filiment. It wont be lit when you turn your lights on and only come on when you blink.
