Default What do you think of my new lighting set up on GS?
So how does it look? I was going for a stock look, but really not.
Stock HIDs
OBX Clear Sides
5W Piaa Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs in side markers
Polarg M4 wedges in parking lights

before


after:











gotta thank engin ear for the tip on the Piaa Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs in side markers

Awesome job, Chuck. And this is coming from someone who has an acute case of mod-a-phobia.

Looks nice. The M4s match up with the OEM HIDs nicely, just as the yellow side markers to the yelow fogs. Nice job, Chuck.

one more of just the side and parking lights. the yellow bulb looks amber in this pic for some reason the m4s look bright when there is no HID on next to them.

I actually like the way the amber bulb compliments the foglights I never thought I would like to see yellow light coming out of the sidemarker but I do now

Henry, I think it matches well. like you said before, it's kinda an accent light. I may still try the Raybrig 4 led if anyone ever gets them in stock.
