So i'm gonna replace pretty much all my lights...
 
I need to know what lights i need and where to get them. I have an 01 by the way. for headlights i have silverstar H4s and those are good for me. I want to get rid of the orange lights in the headlights and replace them with some white ones. I believe those are M4? Would the polarg hyperwhite bulbs match the silverstars pretty well? can i get LEDs for these? As for sidemarkers, i have clears and have polarg hyper white in front and red in back. the red looks pretty pink just how it is. I was thinking of getting LEDs for those, i seem to recall that they have the inverted LEDs that spread the light out better. do these look better than say putting all hyper white polargs in the sidemarkers? Lastly I want to get some for my reverse lights. What size are those bulbs? I have seen the Polargs for those and i like them. Can i get LEDs for these as well???

Im just looking for everything to match pretty well and also where to get LEDs and the other bulbs for the best price...thanks for bearing with me...

THe Polargs can be had on E-Bay for pretty cheap. There are a few sellers with great feedback selling Polargs. I'm not sure of the size in the headlights but on the 5.5 gen they are M4. The reverse lights are M6 bulbs.

CustomMaxima.com has a bulb chart right here guy. check it out.
http://www.customenterprise.com/view.../vts/design004

That website has a very easy to use chart and you can also view products and where they should go on the car. A wee bit pricey but overall really good.

I got the 5-LED matrix bulbs in red for my rear clear corners. No more pink!!!!

....and also at same link as above, i recommend the 194 Super Whilte (Xenon) incandescent bulbs for the front clear corners. at $1.49/ea. i believe these cheaper than the polarg M4 and look exactly the same (i have a set of both the polargs and autoluminations for comparison).

I have LED in my backup light. I had to change the socket and slightly enlarge the hole for the bulb.

so i think this is what im gonna get...

for the front orange lights in the headlights im gonna replace them w/ 1157 natural glass (super white).

For the sidemarkers, 194 super white (xenon)

for the reverse lights, they are m6 but what is the number? 3156 or 3157?

I think im also gonna put super whites in my step lights. those are the smae bulbs that go in the side markers right?

And why not go for the dome light too... it says M26 on the custommaxima chart but what number is that on the autolumination site??

thank you!

How come the bulb numbers on that chart don't agree with what everybody says? People keep saying M4/M6. That chart doesn't even mention the M6.

The LEDs from autolumination.com rock!
I have them everywhere. Sides, parking lights, taillights, interiors. Awesome.

for the side markers i'd go with polarg m4's. don't bother with ebay you wont save much and just go to customenterprise.com (see here) and get a few. they're only $7 for a pair. you can use these for the lights inside the front doors as well and for the license plate lights.

for the reverse lights use polarg m6s. you can't find them on customenterprise.com. check out options auto salon (see here)

for the map lights use polarg M26 (same page as other customenterprise link above)

and for the dome lights use PIAA (see here) they come in pairs so you'll have a spare one or you can sell one to a friend.

that's the setup i have in my car and i love it.

I just ordered a whole bunch of bulbs from Autolumination. I'll take pics and show you the results when they come in.
