What color HID's did you go with? 6000k?

Go here and get these...

http://autolumination.com/194.htm

(Scroll all the way to the bottom until it says... 194 168 W5W 2825 Stealth Silver Chrome)

If you have the newer CLEAR HEADLIGHTS go with the "SUPER WHITE" on the left hand side. If you have the STOCK HEADLIGHTS, go with the "SUPER WHITE" XENON on the right hand side.

Hey babyboigsxr, could you do a quick write up of what bulbs (including model and name of) you used for your front headlights or pm me? I just received the clear headlights and want to get this outta the way before install. Thxs, Much appreciated.

The LED's in the HALO's themselves can't be replaced. as for the city lights.... the 194 bulbs are correct. it's a simple plug and play.
