I still haven't even ordered my housings yet, but I really need to get on that because I can't wait to install the fog HIDs

Also the h6w bulbs should be coming in tomorrow!

I will definitely do that tonight.
I got the bulbs yesterday and put them in right away

It looks so gooooood, what a perfect touch with the hid's!

I'm very thankful to you!

Jessica, did your side marker lights trigger a cel? Are they polarg 194's? Thanks

I used to use polarg 194's and when I did, it never triggered the cel.

Now I'm using some leds in my side markers, but the color on the leds is nicer than the polarg bulbs I used to have. It's more blue with the led's

They're not as blue as they appear in the picture; they more or less match my hid's and city lights (and didn't really match my oem 4300k bulbs as you can see in the pic).

Did 194 LEDs In the side marker trigger the warning lamp?

Which bax9 are you using? 6 led? Single wide lens? Or 5 smt led?

Thanks for the info. I tried installing the 5 smt led and 25watt resistor without luck. The bulb wouldn't light up.

How's the wiring holding up? It must get really warm with the 50watt resistor.

The polarg 194's I have do not trigger the warning lamp, but the 194 LED's do.
It doesn't bother me because I really like the color on the LED's, but as soon as the car will go for sale, I will put back my polarg 194's just so the new owner doesn't get the warning message.

I'm using the 6 led and the wiring is holding up well for now.
