Looks good Chuck.
The M4s do complement the HIDs rather those stock ones
However, mine's starting to yellow , might have to go leds.

Where can I get this M4 wedge bulb? The local R&S Strauss? How much.

You can get them online also. I got mine from autoanything.com about a year ago for a good price. Im not sure how much they are now.

Thumbs up

Everytime when a member do some sort of light mod, I want to offer another mod:
Tap the side markers (depend on legality: use amber bulb for clear markers or as stock) to your front turn signals to get side blinkers
The only downfall is they won't stay lit when headlights are on.

Nice job with the lighting. I especially like the M4 bulbs...really looks great. From the pics, they look bright. Have you had any problems at night with people flashing you thinking your running high beams since they see 4 sets of lights comming at them?

thanks rheiy-no, they aren't that bright when the hids are on next to them. actually, they are the same wattage/brightness bulb as stock, they are just a whiter light

if you look at this pic you can see what I mean

I see what you mean...looks great I think I'm gona order me some of those. Are the oem bulbs easy to get at for swaping out? I've got some big hands and I'm not too good in tight work places.
