Replacing 3057 Turn Signal Bulb, HID Bad idea for turn signals?
So i was planning on putting HID's in my headlights and turn signals (i have the round ones like the fog lights) and i realized HID's probably arn't a good choice for turn signals since they don't liked to be flashed right?
Anyone have any recommendations on what i should get to keep it looking clean with a slight blue hue since i was going to do the front in 8000k?
Also a bonus point if you can refer me to the cheapest place to get clear side markers for a 98+ Firebird

You can't use HID as turn signals.
* HID takes some time to reach full brightness (longer than a flash of a turn signal)
* HID doesn't like being cycled quickly
* HID would be way to bright for turn signals
* HID draws more power than turn signals so you'd definitely need upgraded wiring.
Just go with LEDs instead. Either a drop-in set or custom.

Now i just need to decide if i want to go with like 8000k or 3000k and make it look like the bat mobile lol (i have a black ws6 vert)
