They have been in my car for over a year and they were still working when I took them out and smashed them into the concrete on Saturday. I put the 6 leds in there nad my new HIDs in the lows. The Polargs worked fine, but the coating did crackle off of one and had flaked off in the housing, so I had to use a compresser to blow it out.

They would have worked for a year more, probably, but I didn't like that fuzzy bulb look. Plus they didn't match my HIDs.

hey chuck,

when I had the m4 in the car you could see the blue reflection in the daytime. I have since swithced to the 6 led setup and like that so much more. I think it matches my HID setup really well. I also got my leds from superbrightleds.com. I talked to a couple of members who ordered from there and were really happy. I never had any problems with the m4s I just didnt feel they matched the hid as well as they should. oh, I am running the 6000k setup.

If you look at them from straight on the housing looked blue from the blue reflecting all throughout the housing. This is with the lights off. If you want the M4s I have a set that I just took off that you can have

Chuckb...you can definitely see the blue M4 bulb in the housing. Since we have the same color car, I can tell you that you will notice them in the housing during hte day.

I had M6's - they looked great but one blew after about a year or less. Went to M4's - no regrets. Chuck, don't worry about the look of the bulb when off, it's fine.

Chuckb....I'll try and post a pic up of what it looks like later today or tomorrow. You can notice them, but it's not really too obtrusive.

The ONLY thing I really don't like is that they don't seem to fill up the reflector area w/ as much light as the stock. I could be wrong, since I swapped them out pretty soon after I got my car. The stock, while yellowish, seemed to fill out the area w/ more light (from what I can remember). I'd like to try the M6, but am just paranoid about the higher wattage ruining the harness.

how much are you asking for the M4's. How old are they?
