What's great about HID kits is that although you're running 6 HID bulbs and effectivly pulling 210 watts of power (35x6), you're still pulling LESS power than running 4 55w halogen bulbs (55x4=220w).

Hmm.. you got that right.. I never think about it
but then again... I usually only use 4 of them .. 4 X 35.. still less than
4 X 55
does using less watts give more power?
if it does.. maybe i'll drive it with only 1 set HIDs..hehe..

I'd say your odds are greater of getting in trouble having the red lights in the front since you are only allowed to have red in the rear of the vehicle.

What size are those bulbs. I just ordered a set of hi, low, and fogs, but I know they won't match the daytime running lights. Can anyone tell me where to get some to match these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5583052&rd=1,1

what bulbs are you need/talking about? The wedge bulb? If so, they are the 168/194 types

Yes, thanks. Are those for the side markers as well as the daytime running lights?

yes for the side markers. Daytime running light is actually the highbeam bulb ran at half power.

I had those blue bulbs in my GS, it about 3 weeks before i got pulled over, Copper gave me a written warning. I took them out about 2 weeks later because i thought they looked cheesy not because of the warning. Cops they always pull me over for nothing.

Yeah, you don't want to put blue lights on your car. It's called instant ticket because only police can have them.

Since you're in washington you can read up on the lighting rules of cars:

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.37


"RCW 46.37.100
Color of clearance lamps, side marker lamps, back-up lamps, and reflectors.


(1) Front clearance lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the front or on the side near the front of a vehicle shall display or reflect an amber color.

(2) Rear clearance lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the rear or on the sides near the rear of a vehicle shall display or reflect a red color.

(3) All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear of any vehicle shall display or reflect a red color, except the stop lamp or other signal device, which may be red, amber, or yellow, and except that on any vehicle forty or more years old, or on any motorcycle regardless of age, the taillight may also contain a blue or purple insert of not more than one inch in diameter, and except that the light illuminating the license plate shall be white and the light emitted by a back-up lamp shall be white or amber."
