Ok I learned alot today.
Just got back from Jotech.
Kev they had the bulbs there the xtreme blue.
well anyways xtreme blue is samething as the piaa Plasma HID. Xtreme is just the Japanese version.

Ok well I changed the rear clears with these and they look great.

I also bought a pair of polarg dual filament bulbs for the reverse lights.
turns out that the reverse lights are nothing but big oversized wedge bulbs.
So i'm going to go back to Jotech and get another pair of Plasma bulbs for the reverse

I tried putting the polarg bulbs in the rear blinkers only to find that they won't fit.
the bulbs are same size and all but the two coils on the side of the bulbs are in different places so that only a certian kind of bulb would fit.

Anyways.
I learned a lot today.
Maybe enough to make a FAQ u page

Post some pics after you're done with the grill. I'm sure everyone would like to see it.

Yes, those lights on the Jags do look similar. Why aren't people calling those Neon wannabes?
