My Polarg M-6 bulbs arrived!
Here is a picture of my new Polargs. Gonna drop them in the wedge slot. I know they are big, but it will look better to have a little brighter and whiter bulb in there. I will post pics of them once they are in the wedge. Oh yeah, I got them from Autodynamics. See the free stickers they sent me!!

Polarg M-6 bulbs
Here is a shot I took just minutes ago after installing my new Polarg M-6 bulbs. This first shot makes the Polargs look a bit violet, but the next shot shows them to be more of a white-blue, closely matching my OEM HID's. I personally love the Polargs. I tried some cheap blue 5W bulbs I got at the local auto parts store, but they were weak and too much of a blue. Polarg saves the day!!

Polargs
Ok, a different angle. I guess they do look a bit more like violet than white. Oh well, in my opinion violet is way better than yellow. You have to decide for yourself. I personally hate the stock yellow bulbs. I don't care if these M-6 bulbs burn out prematurely. Hell they only cost me $18 for the pair shipped! That is cheap, even if they only last a year or so. The driver side wedge bulb is a bit of a PITA to get to, but it only took me 10 mins. I can handle that.

Housing melting?
I don't think melting the housing is a concern. I have done quite a bit of searching on this forum and lots of guys are running M-6 bulbs in the wedge housing. Nobody ever mentioned anything about melting the housing. They are 18W bulbs. If anybody has any evidence of melting housings due to M-6 bulbs, please chime in. Thanks.

Had them in my gs for over a year and never had an issue with them melting the housing. In my opinion they are the closest match to the OEM HIDs. I also have had no issue with law enforcements with them being too blue. Maybe with the regular halogens but the HIDs are quite blue themselves.

Led
Yeah, I think I saw those LED's on Lextreme or somewhere on this forum. I was afraid the LED's would look too bright, and be more of a cop-magnet than these Polargs. As far as exploding, if that does happen, I will just hook up a small hose onto my shop vac, thread the hose through the access hole, and suck the pieces out of my housing. As far as melting, the high beam is a 55W bulb (much hotter than these Polargs) and the housing doesn't melt from that. Oh well, I guess I will just leave them in there for awhile.
