Sorry, I can't answer your question.....maybe you can answer mine......do you know what the difference between the M4 and M6 is? Also, where is the best place to purchase these bulbs from (in terms of price)?

Thx.

Default YEAH OK

First off the m4 are much smaller than the m6 in size and not as bright as m6.Well as for where to get them from?Thats a really good question because I have search high and low online for them at a good price. But my guess would be ebay. But the only thing about them is they charge maybe $3.50per set. But the shipping is going to cost you like $7.00 per set. Now is that crazy or what? But I did have some luck with my local import tuner store they sold them to me at $3.00per set.

2 bulbs, one on each side. I think there is only one bulb per package. so you need to buy two.

Check ebay for good deals. Sometimes, it shows up. I will also check froogle.

This auction is for polarg m4

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36476

$3.95 + 2.95 s&h = $6.90

I think i bought from this seller before, he/she charged me the same shipping even i need 5 pairs.

Hope it helps

Yup, just found the same seller myself. But thanks for the help guys.

I will try my local ricer shops first. If they don't have anything under $7.00, I'll go the ebay route.

that's correct, two, one for each side

also, the m4 is only 5w, and i think the m6 is 15 or 18w. so the m6 is bigger and brighter

Romini's right. The m6 is 18W. The factory bulbs are 7440's. They are 21W or 27W can't remember off the top of my head. I think they're also bigger than the m6. So an m6 will actually provide LESS light than what you have stock. There are MANY aftermarket vendors selling <insert adjective>white 7440's and 7443's.

Hope this helps.
