Clear side marker bulb?

Can someone please explain the bulbs on this site for me?

I don't know which to choose. I want the ones that are closest to the low beam headlights. It has super bright, high power etc. but I would like to keep the light dim and not to bright. Or would you choose the amber ones?

I would go with any of the amber ones, unless your not concerned about being legal.

I think their white is going to be in the neighborhood of 6000k so it'll be a tiny bit more blue than your headlights assuming you have the stock HIDs. If you want to go white VLEDs makes one in a 5k color temp that will be closer to the color of the stock HIDs tho not an exact match. If you don't want trouble from cops (white side markers are illegal in most states) get the amber ones.

In my town i doubt the cops would care to much about the white bulbs. but i'm moving to a bigger city soon so i should probably go with the amber. thanks for the information, had no idea the white was around 6k. definately don't want that.

The real question is...do want it legal or you want the hassle of cops stopping you all the time? If i were you, just get the legal ones and you'll have a peace of mind wherever you drive. Whichever you choose, it's up to you. Good luck.

Isn't the reflector, as well as the light, supposed to be amber?
