Actually I bought some for my rear license plates and I bought some extras but I don't like them too much they don't light up that much. Ima take some pix when the sun finishes going down.

They're overpriced. They give off a really clean white light though, and spread well compared to LEDs. I still prefer LEDs because they're brighter.

The led's are brighter but they tend to burn out too quickly.

As stated before licence plate lights, parking/accent lights in the highbeam housing, side marker, I think rear map/reading lights, trunk light, I think also the door lights.

Cool. I got them for my parking lights. They are pretty dim, but look good. What are you guys using for the DRL?

Regardless of what you put in there it's probably still going to look yellow since it will be running at 50% power. I was going to put an HID kit but the light flickers. You have to disable the DRL in order to do it.

Yeah after doing some searching it does look like they are still going to be kinda of yellow. Maybe I'll just get another set of superwhites from Autozone and call it a day.

FYI, the fog lights are 9006 like the lowbeams.

It's the opposite for me. I have had bad luck with the Polargs. They go out on me often (and yes I use gloves when handling the bulbs) and they are more expensive than the LEDs I buy. Plus they are a bit blue-ish instead of the pure white from the LEDs I prefer. Still nice that you stocked up though.
