these are what i have. scroll down to the M4s. i think they look great. u should look into these. they're real inexpensive. custommaxima rips u off on shipping, but the bulb prices themselves aren't bad. i'm sure if you look around u can find cheaper too.

http://www.terrshop.com in the auto section kicks custommaxima's *** when it comes to pricing on bulbs... actually the bulbs are nearly the same but the shipping is way less on terrshop.

They are as OEM as you can get. I live in CT and have the same problem here with bored cops looking for something. They are a perfect OEM match...even though they say the color is yellow they should say amber.

$5.99 (bulb) + $2 shipping for the first pair, then $0.50 for each pair after that.

$5.99 + $5.99 + $2 + $0.50 = $14.48 ... could have saved $3.52
