don't change it. i think the stock bulbs look the best. i had yellow and it looked really dull and not the greatest color. i also had super white, which looked like a egg white/butter color next to HID's. but the stock orange is very nice and goes very well with the HID look.

I wanted to keep it orange so I got these silver-looking bulbs (from Pepboys) that blink orange. The exterior of the bulb is silver but when it's on it is orange. This way I don't have that orange look when the light is not on.

I think that was the brand, not 100% sure. What kind of bad things did you hear about it? I've had it on for about a year now....no problems yet.

Thanks for the warning!

Btw, I just noticed you changed your name again.

My friend said the bulbs are manufactured cheaply and they don't last long. Apparently you purchased a good set of APC bulbs.

If you're referring to the one on the left, that's my car. It's only stock exhaust with the Large Oval Borla Tips. I liked the tips because I didn't really want something that might be too loud.
