queese23 · 04-22-2013, 01:16 PM

They sent you two different bulbs. It happens time to time, if your "independent dealership" can't figure this out it might be time to find a new one.

See this is what happened , I took my car to the dealership and they said they couldn't do anything for me since my lights was aftermarket. So I took it to my Indy shop and he ordered me the 600watt and when put them in the bigger angle light on the passenger side was a different color than all the rest of the angle eyes

: he said maybe its due cause of the blinker light is leaking the orange dye from the light into the headlight case. And that's the light that's closest to the blinker light and that might be what's making my angel eye look more orange on that side??? Any suggestions? Should I just order more lights and send these back?

I can't even believe what i just read.

First of all.. there is no dye in ANY light bulb.. Second, return the bulbs to the place you bought them from and ask for a new set. third of all, find a new independent shop.

I was at work rushing when I typed all of this but ill return them

I don't mean your writing, i mean the fact that your mechanic actually said that to you. blinker dye is something me and my friends would joke about and the fact that he said that it is a possibility for the yellowing is completely absurd.

This should perhaps be bumped up on the priority list...

Dear sweet Jesus.

Do not go back to this indy for anything.....ever. Also if you took your car to some shop that has aftermarket angel eye bulbs and just had them order one new bulb, of course its going to be diffrent. No way they got the exact same bulb and bulb temperature. Order a new set, problem solved, close thread.

if u had aftermarket halo bulbs then I would buy them off eBay and get the cree LED white. these seem to get the most bang for your buck. I just replaced them on my Z and they look very nice. replace Indy is a must.

I see you making some indy shop very rich in the near future.
