They are on when the headlights or the instrument lights are on, kind of the opposite of DRL.

I took some iPhone ones, let me take better pics and post. Or go to that thread I linked and you can see pics in the 2GS.

These perfectly matched my 6000k bulbs and im sure itll still look pretty damn good with the stock 4300k as well.. Best match led by far as of yet for me at least...

Did you miss that these are meant for momentary use....LEDs simply burn and melt after a while, been there and done that, Polarg M4s are almost an exact match for oem 4300K HIDs

I quote....

It's High Output combined with a full 360 degrees of light side to side makes this bulb perfect for all momentary on/off applications.

WARNING! Due to the serious output of this bulb it will get too hot if left on for long periods of time and will quickly fail. When we say High Power we mean it!

^^ There is no perfect bulb. I have had 2 sets of Polargs in my 2GS, one failed after a few months. The other set has worked fine for a couple years but they now burn very blue and no longer blue/white.

Chrispy links a parking light LED that seems to be right on the money. I'm going to order those as well. MP posts pics between the M4s and the newfound LED.

I just got mine. They are by far the best matching parking light bulb I have gotten!!!

Well I'm pissed the LED burnt out already
