the 194 side marker LED's that I ordered look light purple when lit. They are supposed to be white. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hahaha, have fun with your fruity lights! ::achem:: seriously, that sucks... unless your car is already purple?

Where did you get them from? Quite frankly i'd just return them.

www.superbrightleds.com

they are a well-known site supposidly.

They don't look "purple" purple.... but definitely have a light purple hue.

I'm going to try to take a picture tonight. My brother said it doesn't look bad...... I'll let you guys decide.

haha damnit.

This isn't my car, but I found this online of someone's and that's pretty much the purple hue I'm talking about.

Except the purple hue is only in the outer halves of each lens because I have regular hyper white bulbs for my turn signals.

well, eithre way...
your turn signal/drls must be amber (so if you have clear signals, you need an amber bulb)
at least that is the law here in ohio, because ive been ticketed for it before!

in Florida they can be white or amber. I had hyper whites in mine before, but they kept blowing b/c i had crappy clears before and water got in. now i have better clears, but i have silverstar ambers.

thats white, the white from an led and the white from a fillament bulb are different, i believe the led is more white, you just arent used to it or something, but thats what they are supposed to look like
