Anybody here heard of Polarg bulbs? They are supposedly brighter than LEDs. Check them out here: (scroll down to see pics)

- doesn't last as long as LED.

Well Polarg bulbs are just regular filiment bulbs. Their brighter then LEDs of course, but LEDs tend to have a sharper color, typically more white/blue

Edit:

Here's a decent comparison: http://clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127769

I have the polarg bulbs in the map lights, and rear license plate lights and I'm happy with them

I will always live by Polarg. I had them for reverse lights, license plate lights, dome lights, etc. They are a bit expensive but they've lasted a long time with me. I've gone months and months without changing them.

I was introduced to the LED's and I upgraded all my lights in the camry with them and I have to agree with darksparkz..they do have a sharper look to them.

So, they are just white with no tint of blue?

Polarg makes great bulbs, a little pricey, but well worth it. Long lasting too.

There's lots of different versions of the bulbs, just look around for the right ones for you, check out eautoworks online to find yours.

Polarg are like PIAAs. Overpriced and more options avaliable which can do the job the same or if not better.

If you get the hyper whites then there shouldn't be a hint of blue..well at least the ones I've owned never had a hint of blue.

I like the hint of blue..

what do you want these bulbs for ?? license plate ? dome light ? anyways i got the polarg m4 or w.e.. the bulb has a blue tint but the colour output is white with a tad of blue ... it looks alright. There was this thread about them not too long ago ill try to find it

Thanks a lot. I want them for the maplights/rear spotlights/front door lights. The LED's aren't as bright as I was expecting...

Here are 2 pics of the polarg bulbs installed in my license plate lights. I think they look better than the LED's becuase LED lights tend to send only a beam of light and not disperse the light like incandescent bulbs. Although for my map lights i have LED's. But they are matrix style which are 5 LED bulbs on one base aimed in all different directions. These are very bright! But for the license plate bulbs i recommend these!

Thanks for the pics, are the LEDs and the Polargs the same hue?

[Explicitstylz96]

nope. I got he LED's for my plates, map lights, dome, etc. and they give out a violet/white type color. Its not a crystal white like the Polargs. I thought I was going to get the same whiteness as the Polargs but I didn't.

Actually, here's a Netforcer's cardomain page...if you scroll down, you'll see what "white" LEDs look like. and as u can see from the Polargs, they are different in color.
