Nice lights
Christian, I like the look with all the lights. How many of them are different than stock? I assume you have clear corners. I never realized they were so bright. The inner headlight also look just as bright as the main light, or is that just the high beams on? I don't look at my own lights that much. Let me know what all you have changed on there. Thanks.

lights changes
I have changed the front headlamps, fog lights, city lights, interior reading lights, license plate lights, and of course clear corners with different side marker lights.

Looks great
As long as that isn't one of the real expensive setups, I'd be interested in knowing exactly what bulbs you have in the headlights, fog lights, city lights and corner lights? Once I see the pictures, I love that look. Would look great on my white coupe.

bulbs
these are fake xenon lights, eaglite brand not expensive at all. i got them from midnightmoose.com if you do order from there put this code in the special ordering code spot to get 10% off purchase. these lights rock and look like xenon as you can see from the pictures.

about the front license plate, yes in MD you are required to have a front plate, mine is in my glove box so i can whip it out onto the front passanger dash in the event i get pulled over. i notice when i drive home everyday more and more nice cars without the plate, so i decided to take my front tag off, MD tags are so ugly anyway. a state trooper was next to me on my way home on thursday, he didnt stop me either... guess im just lucky

Headlights
I found the bulbs on that site. Are they H7's for both the headlight and the city light? And what is the fog light? Also, did you get the 55W or the 100W, or do you need one of each for brights? Thanks.

Hi christian655321,
Can you specify if you got the Max H755w bulb or the H780w bulb?
Also should I buy 2 pair, one for the normal lights and one for the highbeams? Or do I need another pair for the city lights? Sorry for the dumb questions.
And what bulb did you buy for your fog lights?
Thank you in advance,
Matt

H755w is what i have.
you will need 2 pair of these, one for normal light one for highs
the fog lights are a different part number you will need a serperate pair for the fog lights. look in your manual for the part bulb type i dont remember, 9006 i think also if you have an '03 model you will have to get the fogs changed at the dealer, cause you have to jack the car up and remove the under panels in order to access them.
the ciry lights are the 194 type bulb. or wedge bulb. 5w
marker light on side use same bulb as city lights.
