2001 4Runner Light bulbs question ?
Hey guys, So i'm going to change my my front bulbs to a brighter whiter color.
HeadLights: 9003ST Silverstar High Performance
Fog Lights: H3ST Silverstar High Performance
Now my question is, which do i get for my corner lights? i know the bulb size is 2825. But they dont have that in the silverstar collection.
I am going to install clear corner like these:
Anyone know which bulb i can use inside here?
I would like one that is the same brightness as the Headlights and Fog lights. They have a temperature color of ~4000K (white)
Thanks for the help guys.

If you go with LEDs, you are going to have a killer time finding one that matches your headlight color.
Most white LEDs run around 6000k, which has a slight blue tinge to it. Even the "warm white" LEDs will be too "cool" to match your headlights.
Make no mistake about it, I LOVE LEDs. I don't have one incandescent bulb on my 4Runner (they're all either LED or HID). It just took me a long time to find a white LED that would match even my 5000k HIDs.
In the end, I just put amber LEDs in my clear corners until I found a decent white LED that matched. My advice is to just use a standard white (clear) incandescent bulb.
Good luck!

So those bulbs should match pretty well. I will say that a pure white color is actually closer to 5000k, so even the Silverstar Ultras will look kinda yellow. I have 5000k HIDs and they make even standard (4300k) HIDs look yellow. Check out the kelvin scale:
