Can I see a pic of Polarg M-4...

Used above the factory HID, next to turn signal?

I want to see what the before and after looks like.

Any other suggestions for this bulb so it won't look so dull compared to my HID head lights and Piaa Super plasmas?

I don't have a picture handy but the Polarg looks great in there. I believe the M6 is the one for the front in the headlight assembly. It's a bit bigger than the M4. It looks pure white, no yellow or orange at all.

Here are a few pics of the M4 bulb side by side with the stock in my reverse lights

You're right, they are M4 bulbs. I just pulled one. The M6 bulbs must be in the reverse lights. Sorry about that.

BTW you are going to love the look.

You can find the Polarg M-6 bulb on ebay the cheapest probably....I did at least. The interior front door bulbs are M-4 (194) bulbs, but the dome and map lights are a different story. NOT M-4 bulbs!! those are the only bulbs that I havent bothered to change since I have my dome set to off all of the time and rarely use the map. well I should say that I dont use them enough to spend $15 on more bulbs. Good luck

you got it covered....and I would suggest getting all bulbs and saving on shipping on the front end. I screwed around and bought bulbs for clearance and side markers, but once they were in, I noticed that I need to replace the license plate bulbs to complete the white look around.....And then I had to do the reverse lights,...and then came the interior doors....to say the least, I would go ahead and get them all at once and save on one shipping cost. my .02 Youre gonna love the white look...

customenterprise.com doesn't carry M6s. try http://www.optauto.com/
the site can be a bit confusing to navigate from what i remember so let me know if you can't find them and i'll help ya.

edit: here's the link to the bulbs. they are actualy called T16s on their site. not sure why. http://www.optauto.com/index.htm?stocknumber=PLG-M6

i've heard of people spray painting them with a light coat of some kind of silver paint. then you can't see the blue and it still shines just as bright.
