ya i know LOL, kinda outta hand but man is it fun

the parking lights are raybrig blue bulbs. Or if you are talking about the DRL's, those are PIAA super plasma bulbs. I was thinking of trying to change my highs to something whiter, but these PIAA's dont work that well, so i might put some raybrigs in or mabbie those razos... i'll see

Talking

what i do know is that in front of your car, there must not be blue lights or red because those are emergency lights. As for side markers, a friend told me that his cop buddy said sidemarkers can be any color. even if they pull u over and write you a correction ticket, you fight it and will win. As for the front small bulbs in front that are blue, i consider that parking lights so hopefully i wont be stopped by the Law....

it was pretty easy. What you have to do is pull back the cover for the wheel well and reach your hand in there until you find it, then just twist and pull it out. Once you do that pop in the new bulb and twist it back in

didn't know it was that easy. oh and what're the bulb numbers? also my mom's RX dome light went out. anyone have the number for blue dome lights? blue markers aren't illegal in texas. only blue corners and blue bumper lights. that's about it. but then again the cops in plano are lenient and we have too many ricers. nice pics though. need to get some HID's on my mom's RX. oh and does anyone know how i can get the new generation tail lights? my mom has the red tinted tails on black and it doesn't really match. i'd like to find the chromes, if anyone would help me out.

Hey spinteews -
What brand of blue bulbs did you use on the parking lights here? I just tried some 168 Razo Premium White Zeros this weekend in the PL's and they aren't cutting it - still look too yellow compared to my Razo Premium White Zero 9006 HID lookalike bulbs... For some reason the parking light lense yellowed out the equivalent Razo 168 bulb in the parking lights, so I need to go w/ whatever you used since it's far mo' blue!
Tx,
Ck
