They will fit, but LEDs dont last long next to a heat source like the H1 fog bulb. I am just getting regular filament bulbs, your mileage may vary...

Replaced parking lights. no more yellow!

today i popped off the fujita cone filters and got to the rear of the headlight housing. quarter turn on the parking light module and it pulls right out. replaced the stock filament bulbs with a couple of 4LED bulbs i had left over from my interior LED swap. i think it looks a lot better, but they make my stock HIDs look yellow :-/

anyway, here are the pics.



edit: ps, you do NOT see bug guts all over the front. *waves hand*

fogs are still yellow as they're a different bulb. i'll leave them alone as i don't want to mess with the functionality of it. foglights are usefull here sometimes.

if you do that and do not change the fog lights also the fogs are going to look much more yellow then they do now....

PepBoya has Sylvania Silverstar H1 (i think) bulbs on sale for $20 after rebate. I was gonna replace the fogs with that at least.

I just installed my Fujita intakes, and while in the process, replaced the city lights with some PIAA "H.I.D" lights which are also used for my license plate.

Will post pics, vids, sound clips of all that tonight.

so how fricken hard was it to get to the city light on the passenger side for you? it was like f'in murder for me. my hands are large, and because of the windshield wiper fluid, it was extremely difficult to squeeze in there.

Yah id think the 6000K fogs would be too blue next to the stock hids. I have 4750K MTECs and they are pushing into blue. I should have gotten 4350K ones.
