Clear Corners, Which Bulb?

Just ordered some clear diamond corners and need to know what bulb to use. I have the h4 conversion diamond cut housings with som PIAA super plasma HID bulbs for my headlights (that look awesome) and want my corners to keep up with my headlights.

you could use the hyperwhite bulbs. I used just the regular bulbs in mine and they are white.

I cant find any for the 2397 bulbs. What is the difference in the 3157? I found some NOKYA HID 3157 bulbs 27/7 watts input 54/4 output. Will there be heat issues or power issues with these cause they look badazz.

That right there is all you had to say, haha.
My APC 3157s lasted about 3 hours.
So now they've been replaced by 12-LED 3157s

So the 3157's work fine. I figured they would just didnt know what the difference was in the 2397's.
Where can I get some PIAA's at a good price?

I bought some superwhite/blue 3157 and 194 from a guy that I forgot the name who now has a website (cartoka.com). They are really bright and looks awesome and lasted since Feb 2002. Note, my car was mostly in the shop all year in 2002 though. The clear corners are almost as bright as my headlights. I don't even turn on my foglights anymore because my clear corners are so bright and also don't want to get a ticket for having 6 lights.

cheers
