Agree with you. It's just too blue and it's not bright. There's a sticky on the lighting forum that show you which bulbs will match ur HID color. I think it'll look a lot better if it match the HID color Blue in the front is just too rice for me.

A friend of mine got a ticket for having purple lights on his car. He took it to court and the judge said that blue and red make purple.

I got a pair of Raybrig SMD LED's (RC341) and was disappointed--although the color is whitish, the light output was way less than the oem bulbs. I am waiting for my Polarg M4's now.

Default That is tight!

What kind of bulbs are those? Brand and size? I want to change out some of my lights too, but I don't know if I would go with those blue city lights! I want to go with Blueish HID lights and maybe super whites for the day time running lights or something and maybe change to yellow JDM for fogs. Your car looks totally aggressive, but watch out for the 5-0!

Really? Damn, i just order those Raybrig too. I was plan to put on the car after i pick it up tomorrow (finally, ). I guess i'm going to try those Refractor 5-LED , the one that has one Flux LED shining in forward direction, and four 3mm LEDs shining sideway. I'll post some pic after. I want to get those Polarg M4 but they're blue in daytime and i don't really like that. But I heard they're the brightest thou.. I have to wait and see. Post some pic after the Polarg M4 installed Jlin101 !!!

Thanks for all the differing replies. Fortunately the switch is easy. I am going to leave them in for now but if I get tired of it or get a ticket (whichever comes first!) I will swap them back to OEM.
I picked the lights up at Napa; American Products Company.
