White Blinker Lights

Wats up guys
I'm putting in new bulbs for my blinkers and ive seen you guys talking about the stealth bulbs and such. I was thinking of putting straight white blinker bulbs on my tail lights and also on my bumper blinkers, and keeping the mirror blinkers and headlight blinkers yellow (using stealth bulbs).
Does anyone think it will look awkward having white signals on the back and on the bumper, while amber signals r flashing on the heads and mirrors?
i know i should just try out the different combos myself but has anyone else experimented with this?

ps. can someone please post an ebay link for someone who is selling stealth mirror blinker bulbs and stealth bumper blinker bulbs?
thanks

Is @ Home
I've put in blue tinted bulbs (blinks white) on the front, rear and side. Still thinking if I want to change the side mirrors to white LEDs.

How did you change the mirror LEDs to white? I tried removed it and the bulbs were not removable.

They are completely custom, and I'm pretty sure that no where sells them with white bulbs. I believe you have to somehow get the LEDs out and solder white ones on and put the light assembly back together. I bought these from someone who had these before me. The side marker lights are a simple 194/168 wedge. I have PIAA Extreme Whites in all places with that bulb size. This pic below shows my white mirror blinkers, white front blinkers (hyper white chrome domes from autolumination.com), and side markers, and also my headlights of course...




Here is a decent pic in the daytime of my white rear blinkers (with my old stock tails). These look incredible at night with the s class tails because instead of one side of the light lighting up (shown below), the entire clear part on the S Tails lights up.


Lastly, here is night pic (stock tails). I forget or can't tell if my reverse lights were on in this pic or not.

HAHA believe it or not its not just CA on this issue. Cops tail me alllll the time, and sometimes they've turned around to tail me. But I haven't gotten pulled yet. If I do get pulled, I carry the amber bulbs in my glove box Depending on the situation around cops, sometimes I just don't use them. At night when I use my signal, I can see the light emitting from the blinkers about 1/4 mile down a road. For instance, on a speed limit sign. All of them are extremely bright. In that case, cops shouldnt give a hoot, but oh well....but you're right, I can't even think about doing anything bad in my car with those bulbs in ...thanks btw

Do you know if there's any way that I can tint the mirror LEDs and get the same result? I have all other bulbs switch to white for a while and just can't figure out a way to do the mirror ones.

Well if the mirror LEDs blink amber, then there will be no way you'll get white by tinting. Am I wrong on what your asking?

thanks for the pics boys
i think i might just put those white blinkers in the back they look pretty clean, hopefully the cops dont break my ***** for it

i still have my stock headlights and am waiting for my bi-x's so ill have to wait to put the new signal bulbs.
I actually just put in 6000k xenon bulbs (not HID) into my stock headlights and after i installed one pair of H7 highbeam bulbs and one pair of low beams i realized that the 2002 w203's have a third daytime bulb. i checked it out and have no clue what size bulb that is. does anyone know what size the daytime bulb is?

right now i really wanna get a new pair of the daytimes cause it looks really stupid with the Xenon low beam and the ugly yellow daytime ruining it.

you want links ????? just search for KevBlah's thread..... EASY !!! STFF....

also, check your manual, for bulb sizes, wattage, etc...... EASY !!!

this has all been POSTED at least a dozen times before. Somehow, I read this recurring thread over and over and over again.

absolutely makes sense, except that all topics on these threads interest me, so I read them all. All of them.

and no I'm not mad. You'll be mad when your thread is merged with the ones that have already answered your question many times over in the past 6 years. No skin off my back. Have fun !!!

OK
knock yourself out... but limiting your scan to just the first page is only going to make you create 10000 repetitive posts. Remember the W203 has been around since 2001, so unless your making your car fly, it's most likely been done before, and the SEARCH function with filter searches to follow, will allow you to find pretty much everything that everyone has already done to their W203.

if you don't have the manual, then do a "filter search" to find out which bulb you're interested in.

Just real quick here's a cut & paste of a search result for "bulb number":
