yeahh yeahhh yeah. I put LED city lights in and they were actually bluer than my BIX. so I took them out. I'm thinking about getting 6000K D2S bulbs for my BIX and then buying the LED city lights again to match. We'll see.

Looks good!!
Successfully replaced a defective 7506 brake lamp bulb the other day so I’m feeling somewhat electronically savvy. May try to follow your lead.
Dang, I thought I was the only one here with original side markers.

FYI, here's a video from behind the car. Somehow it got a lot darker after uploading to youtube but you'll get the idea.

All three match pretty well after full warm up. The fogs look bluer from off angles and especially during warm up, I think because of the reflector design.
It's hard to look directly into the high beam when it's on. The low beam BIX also throw more light when the high beams are on so it's really really bright.
Still thinking of buying some 6000K D2S bulbs for my low beams and get some LED city lights to match.
I guess I'm just systematically changing every external bulb on my car.
