they come on bright when you use your turn signals - only on 95/6 models. you can rewire them so they're always bright.

You can get corner bulbs that are silver when not lit, but still amber when lit (that's what the one on the right in the middle pic above is). That's the perfect combo IMO. I've been meaning to buy a pair for the Q but keep forgetting.

I went through so many 'hyper white' bulbs trying to get them to match the Silverstar headlights I had and finally gave up. There are no bulbs that match. One reason is the coating on the Silverstars and the fact that they are halogens.
