Brightest bulbs for corner lights 97 4runner?
Anyone know where I can get the brightest white or blue corner lights (194) for a 97 4runner? Any lights and type information would be greatly appreciated!

When I switched out my regular halogens for some silverstar ultras I had the same issue. I ended up looking around my local Kragen Auto Parts and found some blue bulb import lights that were the same size as the original corner lights. They burn a white color and match my headlights almost exactly. Think they were like 4 bucks maybe.

do you have a picture of them? with your headlights on and the corners? or just with the corners on? My brother had got me these, 1 Pair T10 Chrome Mirrored Auto Light Bulb White 194:eBay Motors (item 250516789707 end time Nov-18-09 09:45:52 PST)

but they sucked really bad. I'm kinda leaning toward these V-LEDS HID WHITE 4 M-SMT 2W HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158

but I'm still not sure, I would like to see some pics of peoples 4runners with nice bright leds! anyone?

I dont have any pictures on me right now. Might be able to throw some up when I get home this weekend. Think I have some there. I'm sure you know already, but LEDs are always going to be brighter/better. I just went the cheap route. What kind of headlights are you running?

Ya I actually did the exact same thing you did orginally. Went with the blue tint bulbs and it looked goofy. Although the ones I finally found burn white instead of blue. I'll have to get you some pics this weekend.
