You need regular 194/168 wedge bulbs not the LED one.

You need this one,

Or this one,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Polar...m380026932441&

But not this one (the one you just bought),

Wow your car looks good, But im wondering at night does it look like too much white. The combo of hid and your lids does it look good at night?

a pic would be great.

Thanks! I'll try to take some pics this week. I believe they match up just nice, that's my opinion though.

If there is no Photoshop in those pics , the result is great. Finally, you put PIAA or Polarg??

Guys, you all seem to be going for the Polarg M4 for the eyelids.
I also saw a Polarg L01, which it says is the latest type with a convex tip, and this means that the light output is focussed even more and appears 3 times the true wattage - so you get a 15W look from a standard 5W bulb.

Anyone have tried this, as it should be better than the M4?

This is a link:

I too, went with the Polarg M4 Type 194's. The results are outstanding, especially in comparison with the factory bulbs. The factory bulbs, to my surprise, had a nice bluish tint to them so I was somewhat skeptical prior to the install.

I took pictures for comparison after completing one side with my wife's Nikon D50 SLR but forgot to turn the flash off...

Sorry!!! I highly recommend them as well. I was pleased with the Polarg brand in the past on my previous '00 Prelude BB6.

BTW... Isn't the "service hood position" a wonderful thing???

Both work well, PIAA is more blueish. Also, I replaced the rear license plate lights with stock eyelid bulbs and it looks whiter than original stock license plate bulbs.

I'm from Barcelona,Spain (*) I've been checking eBay, some US sellers don't ship so far away. I'll keep trying because I want those bulbs.

(*) Let's say that I'm leaving the office and walk to Las Ramblas and have a beer wearing a T-Shirt
