    Im done with leds. I'm going to go back to filament, does anyone know the brightest ones? like the same color of the parking lights on the ws6. I would also like to avoid the egg yokiness.

    Thanks gaiz.

    Have you looked into the sylvania silverstar bulbs. Stealth bulbs are also good. They have a silver coating so they are not seen in the housing. I use the sylvania silverstar bulb and a stealth bulb from autolumination in my turn signals. They yellows match really good.

    I run Sylvania Silverstar corner bulbs. They are a bluish purple and get rid of the egg yolk effect. The bright lights you see on a WS6 is the DRL's which is just the "flasher" filament constantly lit. When you click to parking lights its the same as any other car.

    Heres my Silverstars. They are bright. If its dark enough I can actually see my surroundings flashing orange when the blinker is on at night.

    I've used both the Sylverstar turn signals and the Stealth bulbs. In terms of brightness, the Stealth bulbs are a little dimmer than stock (though not nearly as bad as some of the cheaper silver-coated bulbs), and the Silverstar turn signals are significantly brighter than stock. Also, if you can find them, the 3457 will be slightly brighter than the 3157.

    Awesome, also very useful.



    So you guys both agree on the Silverstar blueish-orangish (diadem I think they are called) ones right?

    EDIT: FOund these guys, what do you think?

    Those are the bulbs. I use the one's you posted and my brother uses the 3157's. The 3357's are a little brighter. You will like the color of the bulbs. As stated I can see them flashing when it's dark. They also look good during the day when they are flashing.

    Wait you use both?? or am I reading that wrong? and are they pretty bright? I want these as bright as possible for filament..
    The only reason I use a stealth bulb for the 194 side marker is so the bulb is not seen with the clear reflector. The color of the stealth bulb matches the color of the silverstar bulb when they are both on.
