where is the shop? what are the bulbs? I'll ask someone (cough cough, MJ or Jose) to pick it up with you guys on Sat. so we can see.
I'm worried that the "hyperwhites" are nothing more than incandescant bulbs and not led's and you'll be burning your housings pretty quickly...

haha Its called San Gabriel Superstore. There are a bunch of mini stores inside, and the place to buy the bulbs is like a small gift shop. Kinda like Chinatown, but less ghetto. hahah
1635 S San Gabriel Blvd
San Gabriel, CA 91776

Theres always Focus Plaza, which is a couple of blocks away. Its a more legit and cleaner place, but the bulbs there are more expensive, if I remember correctly.

oh. I found these pictures online:
I bought these lights for the interior, door panel lights, and side marker lights. I've been using this brand for at least 4 years, and no problems yet.

yeah the reverse ones that came with my ebay license plate lights were blue and u could def see the blue through the housing especially since the bulb is pretty large...i remember everyone hated it and it stood out like a sore thumb in pictures

Actually, they're not that really noticeable through the taillight housing. I had an 05-06 RSX, and those bulbs really shone blue through the housing when they were off.
