I'd agree they're definately blue...why so many holes in your front bumper? I see the small holes for your plate....but what are those bigger holes for?

If you are going for the blue look, that is fine, but the "white" LEDs match better to the HIDs, and if you want the closest match, Polarg M4s are the ticket IMO (i tried LEDs at first) Those blue LEDs would get you a ticket here inthe states in a heartbeat as red and blue coloring is for law enforecement / ambulance etc i think

the big holes were specially cut in the bumper to give me a monumental pain in the a$$.

it is bloody hideous, and to be honest i have no idea what they are (and neither does the dealership???)

As for the holes... those should be for the front tag.

currently going for the no plates approach, it really seems to baffle the speeding cameras hehe

refer to above note folding strategy for solution to the other problems this can generate.
