ok, i did a couple searchs, and nothing was poping up. I want the color in my parking lights to match the xeon color of my headlights. I also have fogs, but the color looks close. The yellow of the parking lights is annoying the hell out of me lately.

any suggestions, recommendations? There was an old thread on this, but I figured I would ask if there was anything better in the last couple years.

oh yeah, and as a second, i am thinking of adding a set of driving lights.........i am a bit of a hela fan(past experience), but I would like to see them installed before going down that road.....any pics, anyone?

I'm assuming you mean side lights? I use the Phillips Blue Vision W5W. A good match. I've also changed my indicators to the Osram Diadem - looks awesome in the day 'cause they show blue when they're not on.

ok, this may sound ignorant on my part, but nothing new there.

the lights I am referencing are located under the main headlights.....and they also act as turn indicators and steady parking lights. the lights on the actual side of the car are turn indicators.....and i have the clear body on those and I am fine with it.

the phillips were referenced in the other thread, i guess they are still the good match then. thanks for the info.

You can get white led's which are a really good colour match although you need to check if they are legal in your country. Try searching Ebay for: QUAD LED BULBS - You will need the wedge type.

Yes, you are referring to the side lights. I believe that there are two bulbs in each of those housings. One for the turn indicator.
