Metallic 194 Bulbs

[a2k]

Headlights - bulb under the orange reflector -- i have a metallic 194 bulb and a regular transparent 194 bulb (attached).. the metallic 194 is dead and i have no idea what colour of light they emit -- does anyone know? also -- where can I find replacements for these metallic 194s?

lastly --> with the corners cleared -- does it look better wiht the metalic 194 in there or the transparent 194? wudn't the transparent 194 look 'cleaner'?

Thx.

here is a pic of the transparent 194 for reference.

I know you could probally check on e-bay and find them.

To be honest the metallic lookin one looks like that because it has blown. It was originally clear like the other. I work at a car dealership and I see that all the time when they go bad. I just dont know why it does that.

HAHAHAH that's hilarious.. u know i was thinking that too.. but i read on a post somewhere the existance of these bulbs.. so i was like 'oh maybe the car comes stock with those metallic bulbs'.. i guess a 'woooops' is in order!

thanks!

i think oldsman has metallic ones and if i remember they light up whitish and are really bright check the latest ASS pics i'm sure you can somewhat see them

got the same prob here, honestly never cared to change em

it is weird how they don't just turn black when the burn out

I thought they were actual bulbs...

you can find them here (http://www.andysautosport.com)



Do you reccommend them? I just bought my 9005 & 9006s (PIAA & Wagner) I'll go for silverstars next time... now I'm on to the rest of the lights 3157's right?

what about the interiors? I wanna go super white on everything...

[Hobbes]

so.. My high and lows are set! If I get...

TITAN (chrome finish) 194 yellow 2pk
& 2 TITAN (chrome finish) 3157 yellow or super white...

then my headlights will be hooked up right? (after I clear dem corners of course!)


Are my numbers right? and does anyone know the part # for the two lights on either side of the dash that shine down on your feet? the part # for the light in the cubby hole? or the part # for the main overhead light that shines all over the car?

It would be a lot of help if someone could point me in the right direction...

[keytonic]

the lights by your feet are 194.

[Hobbes]

thanks man, I already bought them switched them out as well as the light under the gear sleecter.. all I have to do now is change the cubby hole light the overhead dome light, and the two parking lams on my headlights...


I think they are 3057, will 3157 work?

194s are real easy to change just pull the bulb out, or twist the case out first and then pull the bulb out and push another one in..

[Hobbes]

are transparent amber parking lamps offered?

[keytonic]

You can get the Silverstar 3157's they look nice as hell during the day and ugly legal amber at nigh :D I think at night they look better than any standard amber bulb

While on the topic of bulbs, has anyone here used Sylvania's "cool blue " bulbs yet? They're a cheaper bulb than the Silverstar, a step below in brightness. I saw these @ the store today, but was hesitant to buy until I know this is something I'd want....kinda looking for a review of sorts. :) I plan on clearing my corners SOON, and that's prolly a good time to swap out them old bulbs. Anyone?

[a2k]

i have cool blue 9005 and 9006 bulbs in my ride.. and here is the bottom line: last long (sylvania is quality), colour: looks better than normal halogen/stock - but not as good as the eurolite hid lookin' bulbs! BUT they dont burn yer fricken headlight connector.. which the damn eurolite hid looking bulbs did!! and when i say 'better' i mean more blue/pure white colour than yellowish...

also -- cool blues arn't as blue/pure whitish as the silverstars --- the silverstars look really close to the eurolites hid lookin ones...

hope that helps

[Youngblood77]

Helps tremendously.....I think them cool blue's are next on my list. Thanks 2K !
