I saw BoostAddict's interior LEDs and I was hoping they would be a little more bright. Good color though.

So no one has had anytime to click a few pictures of the rear Polrag M4 bulbs they have installed?

not that i want to rush anyone, it is just that my car is at the body shop and the guy said if you want to install lights, that might be a little difficult for you, bring them by the shop and we will take care of it, at no additional charge, but only till the car is at the shop.

So as soon as someone gets a chance pls take some pics of the polrag M4 bulbs in the rear near the license plate. I will surely appreciate it!

thanks

thanks, Ill go ahead and get them, I believe someone said that it was hard to install and they had to take apart the covering to replace the bulbs, then again I could be wrong. It isn't about the $5, its about the look, will it look white or blue, on ebay it says HYPER WHITE and someone in the previous pictures has shown how they look and it was sort of blueish. But a few members are satisfied with them. I just wanted to see exactly how they would look at night. So if you could install yours and post some pics I would appreciate it.

THanks

i put the bulbs in last night when i did my srt intake and gauge cluster. you should go ahead and pick them up if you want. they are WHITE in color regardless of the fact that the bulb is dark blue. its not a bluish white or anything like that its def. WHITE and a big improvement over the yellowish colored stock bulbs... it is NOT hard to install these..there are a few push in fasteners that you have to pull out (make sure not to lose these they need to go back in) to removed the liner under the trunk lid, you will see the wiring and the sockets on either side of the plate where the bulbs go, give each side a twist to the left or right and pull back on the socket while youre doing this, it should pop right out, pull the old bulb out, install the new...put everything back together.. ill post up a pic of the light a little later on

here you go bro, sorry it took so long been real busy..i threw these in while we were installing the SRT intake & ecu last week. first pic is of the "stock" bulbs, second/third is with the polargs. as you can see its a bright white light, no blue at all..it looks good its not tacky and its a cleaner look then the yellowish stock bulbs in my opinion...

I never posted pics up on this thread after I got mine. I purchased the M4 Hyper White bulbs off of Ebay. $4.00 shipped

**What I notice about the bulbs I purchased versus the 'led' Hyper Whites is that these M4's cover more area. The light spreads out evenly rather then beams of light. I notice on some of the 'led' bulbs that in the middle of the license plate there is a section that is dark. If you look at my pictures even at different angles the bulbs are spreading the lights source pretty evenly.

I know, I just bought them yesterday for my front parking lights but they were too blue and I figured in Cali, I would get pulled over. I ordered the M4's for the front lights last night cost me $4.00 plus 4.00 shipping. I can't wait to see them on the front-I have HID's and the parking lights don't match. So idecided instead of returning the cheapo blue ones, I just put them in the lic plate.....I think i'll take them off today cuz the blue kinda looks rice.

im not sure youll be happy with the m4/HID combo either..theres actually a HUGE thread in the lighting forum with tons of pics for the driving light/HID match up dilemma lol... do a search in that forum and youll come up with it if it hasnt been stickied yet.. MY solution..haha i ripped the running lights right out. now when i drive all ive got going on up front are my sweet xenondepot 4300k's and my bright yellow fogs..it looks good and sets the car apart a little from other gs's at night..just my opinion
