Changing ambers on c4s?
Hey, i'm new here and I was just wondering if there was a way I'd be able to change the ambers on my c4 so that they're brighter, similar to the c5s maybe. Thanks in advance!

They sell something in the Mid-America catalog that you wire up, so you when you turn your key to the "on" position, it will turn the front parking lights on to their full brightness. When you turn your headlights on it dims the parking lamps down to their normal brightness. Basically it will make your front parking lamps function just like a C5's.

Check the catalogs and vendors here. I believe I saw some bulbs that are brighter than the stockers.
Be careful though, read on here somewhere that one of the members had a problem with the lens and heat from the hott bulb.
Good luck

Go to the Daytime Running Lights section. I have a set on my C-4 convertible and for $36, you can't beat the price. There is a picture of my car in the Customer's Cars section if you want to take a look.

Red89Vette,
I changed the bulbs in my ambers (parking lights) to a Ultra White Bulb (The blue kind) and it literally made it look 100x better. It's not the lense that's amber, it's just the bulb that makes it APPEAR amber. Trust me, I'll get the bulb # when I get home and I'll let you know. I'll also give you a few tips on how to upgrade your entire lighting system. :cheers:
