H6W bulbs for city lights...help
Anyone know where I can get a nice pair of H6W LEDs [that are a close match to the stock xenons] for the "city lights (smaller inner oval lights)"? Im hearing that I need resistors for them too - any idea where I can get them too and how much the bulbs and resistors should cost?

thanks

www.ultraleds.co.uk

But they look closer to 6000K lights than the stock HID bulbs.

Right. I've got pictures of the h6w led from ultraleds on the other site. They look more blue than anything.

The light is clear so no, they're technically not blue. If you went over to the other site and seached you'd see the pics.

Not really, they match a 6000K bulb perfectly.. I don't know what those fogs look like, do you have a picture of them?
