just swapped out clearance lights for polarg M4 xenons

Looks AWESOME! They really are the same color at the headlights... FINALLY! I have 3 or 4 pairs of PIAA lights that I'll find something for, but these polarg xenon M4s will stay.

I did this too. The color of the lights look FREAKIN SWEET on top of my Majestic Blue. It's sortof a bluish/white light. VERY nice. I got mine from custommaxima.com, but I don't recommend them as they will charge you $7.00 to ship $7.00 worth of lights.

I can get them to you for $10.50 shipped but it'll take some time. Can you wait maybe 2 weeks?

Anyway, here are the pictures. My digi-cam sucks B A L L S so this is the best I could do. It took me a while to realize the plastic cover in the headlight assembly is scalloped, and I think that's what makes the light look a little "off" from one angle (shown). So, one is from just about straight-on and the other I maneuvered around until I could see the most "off" color. In person it really looks sweet.

This is from custommaxima's site:


this is my car (sorry for the dirty lense):
almost straight-on... you can see the whites blend right together:


this is the most "off" I could see... I really think the scalloped plastic lense is what breaks the light up and makes it look different than the headlight:

actually before this gets out of hand... how about I do this in the 'group deal' forum... meet me there in a few. It'll add some time waiting to see who's in, but not much.

Definately...I put in PIAA white LEDs (pure white light normally) but once you put it inside the lense of the clearance lights..it's output is weak and bluish.

I've never sold anything on the .org and I don't want my first time to be a screw up. Let me read a little in the GD forum and I'll post tomorrow around noon EST.

Expect to see a group deal for Polarg M4 bulbs for $10.50 *shipped* anywhere in continental US (I'll ship anywhere but Alaska is more, and Hawaii must be hand delivered at your expense ).

Since I've never done this I'll ask...

1. do I let the deal run for 3 or 4 days then close it?
2. I'm going to need $$ up front so expect to paypal me then I'll ship.
3. is there anything I'm forgetting?

PLEASE do not PM me about this here. I rarely check PM. If you have a question please email from the link on the left or just send to a2k2wannabe@attbi.com - thanks.

which PIAA's did you have, extreme whites or super plasma's

not to go against what you said, but i think my PIAA super plasma's are fine. same thing though, at different angles, the light output isn't as strong, but overall pretty good....

Hey, I want in on this gorup deal as well, so I'll be l;ooking out for it. Also, what did you replace your fog & high beams with?? Please let me know as I'm looking to replace all three (fog, highbeam, clearance).
