Question Best HID wanna be lights????

Sup y'all.

I have the HID's on my GS but want to add some wanna bes for the fogs, maybe the highs. I'm sure some of y'all have some input so give us the best...hopefully some of them kinda sorta match the OEM headlights.

Late.

Looks great....thanks for the help.

Any good spots to buy? What about bulb longevity?

Oh...and I found the how to on the M-6 bulbs for anyone else who might be interested:

The "How-to" on the Polarg M6 bulbs you found was actually authored by the guy who responded to your post!

Hey Sasha,
I agree that your setup looks very nice. Have you had any problems with the wiring harness since these bulbs are higher than normal wattage? How about hassles from the police?

Yeah I thought that was his car.

What is the difference in wattage mumbles?

Thanx.

In any case, I think there's been some posts recently about the few better choices for 9005 & 6 upgrade bulbs; PIAA or Rabrig I think...

yea its my site but dex wrote the how-to! im just hosting it for him!

also, you can buy allthe bulbs you need at autodynamic.com

to get the fog lights to be non yellow you have to crack the yellow out, to learn how to do this i have posted a how-to on my site under maintanence setions i have to put it in my how-to section but it'll tell u how to make it clear if you dont, no bulb will help it be blue.

Ryan,
The normal wattage of the 9005 (high beam) is 60w, but the OptiBlues(?) that Sasha uses are 100w. The normal 9006 (fogs) are 51w, and the OptiBlues are 80w. They look great, but several folks here have posted that they burned out the wiring harness when they ran higher wattage bulbs which is why I was wondering if Sasha had run into any problems.
Later,
