<b><font color="#0000FF">OK, by now you gals n' guys know I am a light freak.&nbsp; I just received my 9th pair of different 3157 bulbs.&nbsp; These bulbs fit the OEM euro housings PERFECTLY.&nbsp; No jamming, the connections are not too long, not to short.&nbsp; Please note, as I had said before, prior to these bulbs (which are made in Japan) only the U.S. and Taiwan made 3157s fit our Valeo Euro housing perfectly.&nbsp; The Japanese 3157s did not fit without modifications.&nbsp;

Here are the bulbs:</font></b>

<b><font color="#0000FF">
These bulbs were purchased from the Ford F150 truck website!&nbsp; Hey, I was getting desperate. </font><font color="#0000FF">=)</font><font color="#0000FF"> </font>
<font color="#0000FF">&nbsp;

They were $18.95/pair including shipping/handling and can be found here:&nbsp;

<b><font color="#0000FF">
It's kind of a pain because you have to register with the Ford F150 Club/Group/World, whatever but it's harmless.</font></b><b><font color="#0000FF"> These bulbs definitely perform and look better than the clear 3157s.&nbsp; You be the judge, this photo was taken with no flash and in natural day light:</font></b>

<b><font color="#0000FF">Anyway, the finished result is mixed.&nbsp;

At some angles these 3157s match our HIDs perfectly.&nbsp; See...</font></b>

<b><font color="#0000FF">...and at other angles they look a bit blue, see...</font></b>

<img src="http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/31/31428/comparison3.jpg" border="0">
<b><font color="#0000FF">...and without the lights on, in the daytime, it can look blue (with flash), see...</font></b>

<img src="http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/31/31428/comparison4.jpg" border="0">
<b><font color="#0000FF">Without the flash, the corners look clear.&nbsp; I noticed the pictures I took with flash yielded the most bluish look. Pictures without the flash, the corners looked clear but at some angles there was still a hint of blue.</font></b>

<b><font color="#0000FF">Overall, I guess I am satisfied with the look.&nbsp; It's definitely not a perfect match but as close as a match I have found.&nbsp; Make no mistake, they are still a bit blue but good enough for me.</font></b>

<b><font color="#0000FF">I hope this helps and I ***hope*** my quest for 3157s is over. </font><font color="#0000FF">=)</font></b>

Having my turn signals flash blue isn't for me. I like the asthetics of a clear/blue blub better as well so I got the best of both by going with the SilverVisions.

S4MadMan

They don't flash blue at all, they flash pure white.

my euros are wired so the corner lights only come on when i'm using the turn signals anyways. i have the city lights acting as my parking lights right now.

i'd love to find a superwhite h6w bulb for the city light though, just to see what it'd look like.

OK. Please summarize the Valeo bulb recs by socket(fogs too if you can) for us. Thanks.

I can't recall the exact CVC or FMVSS number. I perfer the amber flash as well. I think I will keep the stock color of the city light bulbs. The yellowish color of the city light makes the xenons look even more distinct.

Did you ever find out what happened to you tranny/clutch issue yesterday?

sales@avalonmotorsports

i don't think they've looked at it yet. taner said he had the same thing happen to him once and his worked the next day. i'll have them check and see if it works today.
