Question How well do blue bulbs look during the day?

I want to replace my bulbs up front to APC blue bulbs but I'm concerned with how safe they are during the day. I have already changed my rear bumper lights to blue and you can hardly see them during the day. Then again 194 bulbs are not that bright so I can't really compare them to the 1157 and the 3157 bulbs. I know someone here has had to use blue bulbs for turn signals and I was wondering how bright they were during the day? I'm not worried about cops I just don't my front turn signals so dim they become a hazard.

they aren't real bright, but keep in mind it is HIGHLY illegal to have blue lights on teh front of the car I had a truck impounded for blue driving lights aimed at the ground cost me $500 to get it back

They would look like ****.

Bulbs only look good the color they are supposed to be. Do you have DRL's?

I've been wanting to try the Silverstar bulbs for the turn signals. They look blue-ish during they day, but when you turn the lights on, they shine yellow.



The only reason I haven't tried it yet is because the turn signals are too d@nm hard to get to, heh.

The only reason I haven't tried it is cause I would have to buy two packs to make it work.

I (or I should say Ryan in my car) has been stopped by the cops twice for that in my license plate lights. They suck. Dam near look like there isn't a light at all there.
