not too bad. i heard the polarg's are brighter than a lot of the other leds ppl on here have tried.
i'm thinking about using those for the puddle lamps on my IS. do you think they're worth the price?

Definetivelly, brightness is more important in some places than color.
You can see the change from yelllowish to blueish in the puddle lights with a little increase in brightness.
Also the type of cover and reflective housing plays a major role.
You can see on the rear courtesy light the led's worked fantastic because the housing has a mirror relective housing.
The puddle does not, just a white housing , not much of light bouncingback from those.
Priced around $10.00 for a pair they are more expensive than led's but not that much..

NP. The place i ordered from is http://www.superbrightleds.com/
Fast shipping,every light comes individually identified in a pink plastic bag with instructions about polarity
Just remember i did not like the map light and dome light on Led's see my "Before and after- stock,LED's, polarg 2.0", is for map lights and dome as well as footwell. For dome i used PIAA and polarg for map lights.

I used to have polarg bulb for my license plate...
They look whiter than oem and it's easier for cops to read your plate when they write you tickets! xD
Why are your Rear Courtesy Stock so white?

Great addition to the car. I love the white-blueish look rather than the traditional yellow bulbs. It looks good.

I saw the LEDS on superbrightled and thought i'd give it a try since they were cheaper than polargs anyways. I put them in and they were nice, but not as bright as I wanted and so I returned them all and went back to polargs. There were hotspots with the LED and the festoon in the dome light (even with the 9 LED festoon). So now my car is all polarg (yea it's expensive ) and I couldn't be happier. The light distribution is more even with regular bulbs as LEDs have limited light dispersion, at least the one superbrightled carries.
They're not bad by any mean, but I would reserve them for license plate bulbs and such things.
Now the only thing I need to chance is the dome light lens. Its yellow-ish so it's hindering some of the light. I got into my friend's 2004 corolla and the dome lights up the cabin much better than my car.

Beleive it not, you can buy the M4's (and maybe the M6) at your local Honda dealer. I was surprised when I went to Honda World to find pack of M4s for only $8.95. Cheaper than a lot of places online.
BTW, where are you in CA? If you're in socal, Super Autobacs has them even cheaper than Honda by maybe 50 cents or so. The M16 and M17 I ordered online, but I forgot where. I'll take pictures.
