City lights Narva germen bulbs
I still need to replace the city lights to something whiter. Has anyone tried these Narva H6W blue bulbs? There is a pair for sale on Ebay.

$20 for tiny colored bulbs? Come on, don't waste your money. Any blue tint bulb is not going to be that much different. If you want pure white, you need to use LED's and load equalizers (which will still run less than 20 bucks).

off topic but I had to ask
Terry - whered you put the functions which would be near the top of your center console (hazards, unlock door button, etc...) 
could you post an upclose pic of your center console so I could check out the alpine screen and everything beneath it?
Thanx in advance

The equilizers do get hot as they take on the roll of an incandecent bulb so they can not contact any meltable surface.

They have 2 contacts (nubs) on the base. You have to grind one of these down leaving only one contact. Push in, twist, done. I did not use equalizers 'cuz I have l.e.d.s all around http://forums.mbnz.org/forums/forums...osts=11&fid=20 I'll probably wear out my reset button

Hey ThrillKill,
On those clear bumper lights did you have to get new superwhite bulbs to go inside of them or did they come like that? If so which bulbs did you get?
