Default City bulbs: opinions? *pics*

Well I realized the bulbs from my ex-car are the same as the SC, so I put them in. They're PIAA Super White or something like that (I'll get the exact bulb name/part numbers if anyone's interested). These look much better than the stockers IMO.

Ps the previous owner had a 9005 for one headlight and a 9006 for the other, both different brands

On with the pics-

Choice1: amber. These are the same color as my blinkers and sidemarker, so they fit well.







Choice2: white. These almost match the headlight color so they blend well together.





*side note- I took the headlight assemblies apart to clean them, and the passengers side didn't come out as well as the drivers side, so in the pics the passengers side doesn't look as good. So the slight yellowish tint is NOT from the bulb, it's the housing.


And here's a shot of all of them lit up (obviously no tripod was used ):




So I'm just looking for opinions here- amber or white?

Makes life easier.

I wanted them on my IS, so I stuck the stock bulbs in....on the SC's I never liked them. Just pulled the bulbs completely.

Easy solution.

For sure. I think it would clean things up a lot with no bulbs.

The car's new to me so I'm going to try out the different colored bulbs for a little while to see if anything appeals to me... but no bulbs at all have caught my eye. Thanks for the tip

I removed mine as well, didn't flow well with the HID conversion.
