Eyebrow headlights

The eyebrow part of my headights are out. I have seen people who have put bright bulbs in this part of the headlight where can I buy those? And how can i turn the eyebrow part on only? Ive also seen pictures of just the eyebrow part of the light on and it looks sick. please let me know
thanks

I think they are 194 bulbs. There are a few different brands people use, I bought mine on eBay (a set of 8 bulbs for about $20). They were "Polarg M4" bulbs. Only problem is, I couldn't replace them. They were so hard to get to and very difficult to pull out. Your bulbs went out already?? How long have you had your car?

I think if you turn the light dial one to the right from "A", and pull on the actual dial, the eyebrows turn on (or the eyebrows and the fogs, can't remember).

So the bulbs are cheap, but replacing them was difficult for me so I am going to wait until I buy all new lights, sack up, and just pay the dealership $60 and ask them to replace my lights. Good luck.

I can not believe you are going to pay ~$100 to change out 4 light bulbs

I've ordered my resistors and am going to do the LED mod. each LED = $2 x4 = 8 + $1 X4 for each resistor = $12 for a much brighter and nicer mod haha i think he meant 8 for $20, not uh 20$ each.. thats ridiculous
