yes, 168,194 or 921 bulbs... some are subject to heat issues (LED's). I was planning on getting these for the front.

iJDMTOY JDM Xenon White/Ultra Blue 2W High Power T10 LED bulbs for parking city lights, side door lights, license plate lights, etc

Still looking around ... I want a bright 5000K light that has a heat sync

^Supposedly LEDs wont last but I've been using them for the past 8-9 months with no issues. Although I'll point out that my fogs weren't used very often.

I want to upgrade the Fogs (H1) to a whiter bulb so I'll be using the fogs a lot. I'm still deciding on what to do up front with the fogs and city/parking lights.

You should convert ur H1 Fog to xenon system. I was quote at 200 dollars for the conversion and I will probably do it soon.

Im interested in changing the parking lights and fog lights aswell. I want the 5-6k lights. Is it as simple as changing a light bulb? Any one done this that can post pics? And the site you bought them from? Thanks

Changing headlight bulbs on our cars is a PITA. You gotta jack up the car and remove the front wheels, so you can gain access from the fender wells. And even at that, the space is still pretty tight.

It does get easy once you've dont it already. But still a lot of work compared to some cars where you can just pop the hood and voila!

That is so true. I have no clue what our is so damn hard. Taking off a wheel to change the lights is bizarre
