wazzu_coug

breaux_tC

thanks
sorry about that
whenever i see a list at the bottum of a post i normally dismiss it as sponsors in a signature

yes they are 7440 size bulbs, as for wazzu_coug, the ones you can find from that site are ok as well and for the price they are cheap so i'd give them a try.

I'm completely clueless when it comes to this stuff, but I would like to swap out my bulbs for the chrome ones. I'm on the AutoLumination.com website, but I don't know what's what. One guy says to get the 1156/1157, the other guy says 7440. Then there's single and dual circuit. Could you guys break it down for me? Thanks.

they are pretty much the same, just that the bottom of the 1156 bulb has 1 dot at the bottom when the 1157 bulb has 2 dots.

EDIT: make sure you get the 1157 bulb.

I've had mine from Pilot for 2yrs and they still look Awesome...NO chipping.

so which one is longer lasting superlumination or pilot? which is better going white, blue, or amber as turn light color if you got 6k hid? 2007 scion tc btw so is it the 1156 or 1157?

breaux_tC

i would go with amber, it may be hard for other drivers to differentiate between your turns and lows... plus amber will match your turns on your side view mirrors

1157 or 7440? I see people saying to get both.

breaux_tC

its 7440

I didn't read all the post so yeah...

Anyway, I bought mine off ebay and someone questioned how long they would last. I bought mine just a little over 3 years ago and they've been through two tc. I did pay about $16 after shipping. I guess it's kind of high but considering it made it look so much better and it was one of the only 10 mods out for the tc it was worth it.lol

okay well I'm debating weather or not to get LEDs for the front turn signal, or the chrome pilot bulbs... I want the front turn signals to match the yellow of the sideview mirrors so obviously the LEDs would match better. However I've heard that the LED's hyper flash due to the lower current draw and I want none of that.. any one have some light to shed on the situation...?

yes LED do that but just get the chrome bulb that flashes amber.

Haha okay so I got the bulbs... well bulb actually, looks like I only ordered 1 my accident. I decided to throw it in to make sure I liked the look before I ordered again. I ended up dropping the bulb in the housing hand having to take off the bumper and remove the headlight to shake the bulb out. Total wasted time: 1 hour

yaaayyy for FAIL

HAHAHA wow that blows...
