HELP with Headlights
Been using silverstars for 1 month and they are much better then stock...anywho...do they have replacement bulbs for the side indicators on the front of the car to a different color? that amber color is old and everywhere...or is it illegal to have another color?

That depends on your state laws.. in CA :
"Illegal color of side marker lights. If present, must be yellow in the front and red in the rear (25106, 24003 VC). "

so then how do people have blue blues in the front indicator lights...do they look blue till they light up? and then they are amber/yellow...and if so...do silverstar make em? like replacement ones that do this...or am i just daydreaming?
Those bulbs are blue because they emit blue or "super-white" light. They are not street legal.
Some bulbs have a chrome coating to appear clear when off or in daylight, but emit the appropriate color of light.

Just put some silverstars on 2nite. I def like them. I had some cheap "HID" style lights on my old car and the light output was horrible. These are nice b/c it actually improves visibilty by being brighter than stock. But please dont try to compare these to HIDS. These are just cheap, budget alt. to real HID/Retro.

These give the front housings a VERY CLEAN & NICE look! And YES-they do flash orange/amber.

I've had mine for almost 9 months with no problems! You can find them starting at $35. About the SilverStar turn signal bulbs; they don't make them to fit the tC. (Trust me. 9 months ago I checked everywhere!) If you're curious about my "mole", check the profile!
*Hey ack154! I guess I need to add these to the total as well. I told you I wasn't very good at math!
i 'v had my chrome turn sigs for about 6 mths and no probs! anyway, if the bulbs melt the led's placed in the housing, are there any "white" bulbs that don't melt. i had a 6led #164, but i took them out. i put them in the rear plate. but the factory parking bulb sux up front. are there any good ones out there?
ok i found some. try looking through here. so you don't get that yellow look from the parking lghts.
