Hey Chuckb:

Did you use the orange bulbs that came with the set or did you replace it with white one? If you use orange bulbs can you take a picture in the dark with the light on? I just order a set but wonder which bulb color would look better. I still have some Prolarg M-4 bulbs I can use.

Thanks,

Chu...

You'll have to use the amber/orange bulbs or get some LEDs. If the bulbs are white, the cops will give u heat because it's illegal to not have amber/orange bulbs in there.

I have the OBX also they are great just like OEM but clear. But I put Polarg M4 bulbs in mine to match my Day time driving lights.

OEM vs OBX


OBX


OBX with Polarg M4 On


PIAA on the left VS Stock Yellow Fog light on the right. PIAA is much brighter doesnt have so much orange.

Im Very happy with the Polarg M4 & the PIAA combo I cant say so for the Polarg M16,M24. They are way to blue does anyone know another bulb that can go in there place? Thats for the Main Dome light & the Vanity mirror.

I have a set of clear ones that are new in the box that I'd like to sell. I prefer the look of the OBX one myself. I don't want to be able to see the light bulb through the lens.

Well.... I like the look of a OBX just a bit better because you cant see the Blue PolargM4 inside it when its not on.

other then that I really like the look of the clear one

I prefer the OBX over the clear ones, because they have a clean OEM look without the cheap aftermarket look of others I have seen!
