Quick question...

What kind of bulbs are in our low beams and fog lights (stock)?
I want to replace them with superwhite bulbs.

Also I might want to replace the driving lights next to the headlights, the driving lights next to the blinkers, and the blinkers. What are the sizes for all of those?

fog lights are H3. Our bulbs are dual filiment, meaning each bulb contains the low and high beam. the number for the headlight bulbs are 9004's, but if you are interested in better lighting, I would do the 9004 to 9007 conversion. I just did it and it is amazing the difference. Read the how to's to see how to switch. Not sure of the driving light number, but that too can be brightened by snipping a little nub (see the how to sticky). and finally, I believe the corner lights are 197's.

Well, the low beams (or normal driving lights) are 9004 (get Sylvania SilverStars). The fog lights are 55 watt halogens. The corner lights (or the ones next to the headlights) are 1157 bulbs, the corner bumper lights (next to blinkers) are 194 bulbs, and the front blinkers are 1157 as well.

Some suggestions, if you don't mind:

Headlights: Sylania Silverstars (Autozone, Walmart, Discount)
Corner Lights: Duel Contact 24 LED 1157 bulbs (EBAY)
Bumper Corner Lights: 6 LED 194 bulbs (EBAY)
Blink: Duel Contact 24 LED 1157 bulbs (EBAY)

Let me know what you think.

DONT CUT THE NUB THING!!!! Never do that mod. Not only have I and 2 friends tried it, but it was a complete waste of time and it does NOT work. If it does, it's by chance that you cut it right.

By the way, your 197 is actually 194.

maxfun

ah yes, 194's not 197's. also, good info on the rest of the stuff.

Best looking blinker/parkinglights/sidemarkers are regualr yellow bulbs and a blue sharpie not becuase im cheap but its beacuse it looks better than piaa and everythign else see for your self just paint the whoel bulb blue. mine are blue whitish looks very nice at night espically when u lock your car and the parking lights flash.

maxfun

yes, all three us did it on our own and it didnt work for any of us. not that we are inclined, but it def. didnt work on any of our max's.


by the way, the whoel sharpie thing, dont. jsut spend the 20 bucks to completely re-light your whole front end.
