New Bulbs I Got Rule!!!

http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=322526&page=2

Yo, although the Pics don't do justice to the NIGHT/DAY difference of the stock bulbs compared to my new ones, I wanted to say how happy I am with my E-Bay bulbs...I paid 35 dollars for 9004s, 194's, and 1157s shipped to my door, and the difference is AMAZING...they aren't a ricey blue like some ebay bulbs, they are a BLAZING, wannabe HID white (all except for my 194's which are an actually BLUE running light) and these bulbs do an exceptional job of lighting up the road...they are also all stock wattage. No burnt out harnesses for me!!!!! whattaya think!?

You can have any color running lights, but lights that are used for functionality, (headlights, Foglights etc, cannot be colored) but running lights can!

Actually...yes or no...I know in Illnois you cannot have any blue or red(actually any color but shades of yellow) visible outside of your car unless you are an emergency vehicle...California...definitely not...depending on where you live, you might not be hassled for it....

I know a couple of cops here in WA, and they were laughing about how much money they make for the state because people put illegal colors somewhere on the front of their car.

(The conversation came up because I have xenon corner lights that are actually white at night, but have a blue tint to the bulb during the day)

All i know is that where i live busting people for stupid sh*t like that is a pasttime. i have to drive through river vale NJ to get home from work and they love harrassing me about the DC clears and the bulbs i have. plus they love to do this after i work a 14 hour day. they always pull me over for it and then ask y my eyes are so bloodshot. this is about 1 a month. always a different cop. id swear they take turns or sumthin. but its kool. i now have the ohillips kmart clear bulbs in. they have a hint of ornage. it looks like crap. im diff changing them soon. but untill then i can be free from harrasment.

Holy thread resurection batman.. If you get bulbs that are 100w or even anything above the stock wattage, over time the harness will melt. Its not really a big deal though, a new upgraded harness can be had for like 20$
