Question: does anyone know what bulb i can buy to attempt to make the parking lights brighter to match the HID fogs? they look so yellow, we bought some super white bulbs but there wasnt much of a difference.. also whats the highest K recommended for the stock headlights? i was thinking of getting some 8k bulbs..

has anyone had the problem of their fog lights cracking due to the heat of the bulbs? I had to replace my passenger fog light and installed the piaa super plasmas in both of the fog light housings. The factory fog light is fine but the aftermarket one I bought cracked after like 3 days. I am kinda irritated cause I spent almost 80 bucks on the damn thing. I was just wondering if anyone has had that problem or if I am the only one. I am thinking about just going to a wrecking yard and buying a factory one as they seem to be stronger. Any input would be appreciated.

i heard piaa's melt the connectors, not sure about the cracking though but never used them because of the negative stuff ive heard about them.
#35
This question has been beaten to death, but I need some help. One of my FAKE MTEC fogs went out and I need a replacement. What is the whitest H3 bulb you guys know of that is NOT Piaa. I know the GT-X is favored, but I'm not going to spend $80 on fogs when I am getting HIDs next year.

Italiano, sorry to intrude on your post. I posted my receipts in hope that some gengerous person who has the hid install in the 2k max would help a fellow max owner out. I would really like to have them installed this weekend. I am legit as I have proved, and it would be greatly appreciated if someone would send me the how to install. matthewbeck21@aol.com
Thanks, Matt
