Angry Oh my freaking wedge bulbs

Ok so I ordered two Polarg M6's as night time runnings lights for my 2nd gen GS... they look bad *** and ive had em in the past week...

Today the 4 sets of wedge bulbs i ordered from Hong Kong came in... so i grabbed one of the sets and put one bulb in my passenger side.. and then I go to put the other in the driver side...

The M6 bulb (kinda big) falls in to the crevus between the inside and outside of the housing... I spent about an hour trying to get my big *** hands in there and get it out but I finally ended up breakin it with a screw driver so I gotta order another M6... theres shard of bulb glass all in the crevus and meanwhile im gonna rock these blue ones that I'm pretty sure are illegal... well hey maybe the cop will cut me some slack as long as I don't got these ones in...



I had a blue one in the right side and red one in the left.. a true patriot.


*edit: is there anyway to shut off the night time running lights while ure driving???

That driver's side is the time consuming part.
Those bulbs are really blue. Good luck avoiding the cops.

put the stock ones back in and change them out when the m6 comes in. looking at the second picture, they are way too blue.

As someone else mentioned just leave the bulbs out for now until the new ones come in.

I did this too, very frustrating! I had to remove the entire driver's side headlight to get the bulb out! I ended up taking out the leds and putting in polarg m4s anyway.

i had the same thing happen to me PLENTY of times... i would use a metal hanger (take it apart and shape it) and get the bulbs out, but that would take FOREVER. as foe the blue, take them OUT. u will get pulled over. if i had to guess, i would think that it was photoshop

yellow is fine... i'd think you'd get pulled over for the bright lights though...

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).

Cars are supposed to have amber parking lights in the front anyways. Cops wouldn't know that the wedge lights or DRL are supposed to be stock doo-doo brown.
