They're the closest to stock HIDs in color and yet they also illuminate the wedge housings better than any other bulb except perhaps the Polarg M6s.
In fact, they were so bright, they helped the HIDs light up the road better than the stock orange wedge lights!

In conclusion, we need no longer compromise between looks and brightness for our wedge lights-- these LEDs match better as well as illuminate better then stock wedge 194 bulbs.
Just bought these. $45 from eAutoworks.com

Hey guys I have a 3rd gen GS, since i see how well you guys know these types of bulbs ill ask you which bulb or color do you think would be closest to matching the color of my 8000k HIDS?

I also have 2 sets of artisan spirits fogs about to be put on the bodykit and i think im going to put the hids in them as well after i see the color of bulbs. To have them all match. Right now i have wedge bulbs that are very blue and dont match at all...hmm

Im kind of confused. Could someone explain the diff b/t a DRL and wedge bulb?

And I was planning to do a DIY to keep the lights on the inner two headlights off during the day, but then I saw that people have replaced the bulbs so that it matches the oem HIDs. From the first couple pages, I like how the polarg m4 wedge bulbs match the oem HIDs. What do you guys think?

DRL = Daytime running lights (which are the lights that are always on when your headlights are off)

Wedge bulb = Size of the bulb that the DRL uses

^^ actually.. not exactly

the wedge bulb we are referring in this thread is the "driving light" which are 2 little bulbs in side the housing.

DRL is simply high beam bulb at reduced wattage.
