Thanks Timmy, are those the same blue bulbs in your original pictures or are they white? If they're white, how much better/brighter do they look than the original?

if you are talking about the corner lights those are a blue bulb, the same bulb as in the daytime pics. I think i may try an amber bulb soon.

Is there a difficulty when you install the clear lens? I heard somebody said that we have to adjust it by using paper clip? or you can just plug in?

thanks

Those arnt as blue as i thought it would be. I bought the cheap blues at Autozone for 2 bucks and they were TOOOOO blue. I think ima go ahead and buy the PIAA's. I seen them and they are pretty white, (The ones that ricers have)...but i think its pretty pricey. Which kind of blues did u get?

I just got the Advanced Auto brand blue bulbs from the ricer section of the store. If those arent blue enough, get a blue marker and start coloring

Get the PIAA Xtreme White's. You can't go wrong with those. They are super white with a tint of blue. I have them on mine. Looks wicked at night.

TimmyC230boy ,

Are amber colored bulbs or lenses legally required? Thanks.

Yes, they are, but its like alot of other things. It did not keep me from passing inspection. Its like the clear turn signals ricers are using its not legal, but no one really cares either. But if you put amber bulbs in it, then its legal. So do what you want, i wouldnt imagine that you would get in any trouble for it.

Oh NO, u got me wrong timmy, Mine was TOOOO blue, i wanted white.

I just got back from getting my HID's installed and also buying a pair of super white bulbs for the markers. So far (during the day), my purple hids dont really match the rest of the hyper white bulbs that i have on....maybe i should have got blue HIDS.

Im pondering on what to do....hopefully it wont be that bad at night.

Ok here's the update. The lights look sweet. Looks like BRABUSCCLASS's avatar. Problem is...all my hyperwhite lights looks green in comparison to the purple lights. Now im thinking of going back to stock lights (other than the HIDs of course). Any ideas????

BIGSHEESH, my lights are from the group buy. I believe they are HELLA...9000 purple. No problems at all...just do it by professionals....heard lots of horror stories by people who try it themselves.
