Thumbs up Polarg bulbs rule...

I finally replaced the front parking bulbs (come on with HIDs) with Polarg M6 bulbs and replaced the side marker bulbs with M4s - WHAT A DIFFERENCE! :eek:

MANY MANY THANKS to Dex for the instructions he has on his web site.

The inner parking lights now closely match the outer HID low beams.

Here's a pic of stock (right) vs. Polarg M6 (left) in the parking bulbs...

Thanks guys. I got my bulbs from autodynamic. Good folks.

FYI, I tried a 4LED bulb on the sidemarker but it was dimmer than the M4 and a bit too blue.

Thanks. Someone in another thread mentioned concern about putting an 18W bulb (M6) in the parking bulbs which are apparently 5W - specifically a tech who said it may burn out the wiring. What do you think?

Thanks. Day time lights only come on when it's day time . The day time lights are just the high beams running at partial power.
