sorry guys me again with probably pointless questions lol But what is everyones preference for replacing insert bulbs? recplaced my Gi with super brights and they look great, most of the inserts on my 24 are the old style original bulbs and some like the blue ones are the bottom look pretty pathetic when lit. Just wondering if people prefer super bright vs none super bright when replacing them? and secondly do you color match? eg a red insert gets a red bulb or do you just go white and is it frosted or not? dont want to spend £50 replacing them all for it to look horrible lol if anyone has info or pics that would be awesome. thank you :)
 
Have superbrights in my CSI inserts (same era) they look great if you like it bold and vibrant, tend to colour match red blue and green, oranges and yellows just warm white, and cool white for clear.
 
I just use frosted comet 2smds, a mix of warm white, sunlight and cool white.
Each tone of white suits a different colour insert.
Colour matching can be nice but I find it often is too much, afterall the inserts are already coloured.
I got out off my colour matching when the coloured led washed out the white or black text on the insert.
Just adding bright comets does enough.

If unsure just get a few . You'll always end up using any spares if you're staying in the hobby 😄
