i also changed the fogs from stock to sylvania silverstars...those on the otherhand were damn expensive $29.99 a set. they are much closer to white (4k) than the yellow stocks and put out better light.

Can you give me a link to the exact bulbs you bought?

I'm guessing the 6000k are in the passenger headlight?? The pic against the wall seems more blue/purple on that side.

The pic of the front of the car....they look the same.

the stock looks white and the 6000k looks blue. i personally like the white better and would be concerned about the reduced light output from 6k lights.

i purchased the inverted cone hid white. i think they are the ones on the right hand column, up near the top when you click the 194/168/158

I put the superbrightled's in my city lights... but when I was putting the passenger one back in the housing... the light popped out and now is sitting inside the freaking housing. I might have to take the headlight out to remove the stupid bulb which sucks.

But I got the drivers side one in perfect with 6000k bulbs and looks good, will post up a picture when I get the above mentioned issue resolved. I am so sad.
