Wait is this an easy mod to do? Are those bulbs all that I need? Is it just unscrew the old one plug the new one or what?

Thanks,
Elliott

I used the M4's and eventually moved to the M6's. Personally, I like the M6's much better.

I have m6 for one year, no pro at all..
I used m4 for 2 days but they are not as bright so switched to m6 right a way and used the m4 for my door lights...

yep, M6 is way better, BUT make sure u are very careful when u install them, they barely fit throught the opening, and if u are in a rush you could break the bulb inside the headlight...and that will be a very bad headache

Who ever wants to do the swap they need to be aware that if some thing worked for one does not mean it will for for you.

Why ..

Usually the objective of the mod is the color and light ouput. People forget the other issues like current capability and rate of heat removal from the source. The wattage specified on the bulb is "typical" and there is a range of wattage above and below due to manufacturing tolerances. Similarly there is a range of voltage provide by the battery/alternator-system. The last factor is how long the bulb is kept on. When you push the limits things can break down.

Good luck

Salim

Before this gets bumped to the lighting section, I have the m4's and over time they lose there blue hue. I may go the LED route for the park lights. My factory HID has a purple blue hue to it. m4 does not match it perfectly.
