have you went to any import shops or audio shops in your area? I bought some through a store here and $7-8 is about what they charge only you dont have to pay shipping.

PolarGs are just plain expensive bulbs. I don't know why people constantly recommend them either, they're not that great.

well, for 194 type bulbs, i think they're simply the best for a really pure nice white color. But if u were gonna get Polarg 1156/1157 bulbs, it seems like those made in korean/taiwan bulbs light up the same way those do.

I've seen 194 type bulbs made by APC and Eurolite, and i think those are really shi**y. Those bulbs still make the color look yellowish and not white. After trying/buying so many bulbs, I can usually tell by the color tint of the bulb of whether it'll be a nice white color or an ugly yellowish color...

hope this helps.

Actually Greg fixed his S&H price for the bulbs. Its $7 regardless of how many bulbs you order. Basically a good deal if you are looking to replace all your bulbs.
