Im interested in seeing more pics of the Luminics. I had the Nokya 2500, but it blew out last week. I never touched them during installation, but i did drive through quite a few floods in the past week.

That's an easy choice. I would NEVER put yellow fogs on my car.
5000K to 6500K is so much better looking.
As for brand I think PIAA or Luminics are fine.

ALL these bulbs are higher wattage than stock bulbs. I expected them to damage the wiring harness at least a little bit. I took them out today because the driver side bulb would not light up sometimes. So I switched it with the passenger side bulb. The issue is that the driver side's harness is melted on the positive part of the bulb socket, but the passenger side harness is 100% fine. I'm gonna inspect the passenger side harness in a week or so, if it starts melting I'm gonna change to HID.

This is the best I have seen so far, and I had purchased an off brand Yellow bulb on Ebay and it was a step up from the stock cream color, but I neded to get the overlays (decided on the thcker protective film) and I am happy now. It looks like it is a must to change the parking lights to SMT leds. I am going to do that asap.

This happens more often than not, and many people do not consider this. That is why I stuck with 55w oem wattage when i replaced them. I still needed the yellow vinyl and I am fine with that. Does anyone know if the SMT Led bulbs, especially the 24 SMT draw more wattage than the factory wedge bulb?

Okay my driver's side 9006 wiring harness (socket) is officially dead due to the melting.

SOLUTION: $11.99 from Autozone, hi-temp resistance socket



I think water got to the socket on the driver's side, because the passenger's side is not damaged at all.
