Default front lighting?

has anyone cleaned up the lighting for the front of their cars yet? i was looking through a vip magazine and saw an ad for an exchange bulb for the headlights, replacement led for those inside boomerang shaped lights, and an hid fog kit. looks pretty clean from pictures. made by "glitter" in japan. anybody purchase this brand? input is appreciated.

the hid foglights could be obtained from japan factory. they have factory hid option. otherwise you can just put hid kits on your car

the headlight bulbs, the stock ones have the most usable light already. anything "whiter" will have less usable light

the inner "nike" light, it's just a bulb, but to reach that it's a horrible pain already (i tried, couldn't figure out an easy way)

thanks. great input. good to know that the bulb is hard to get to. i dont understand why manufacturers are making it harder and harder to change your bulbs (audi has the same problem).

I really wanted to change the wedge light also but you're right, it is hard to get to on one side. The other side is more easily accessible. I never even did it because it was so difficult to get to so if anyone has an easy method, I would LOVE to hear it.

Do you know what bulb type is used for the "nike" lights, maybe 194 wedge bulbs?

By the way - I replaced all my interior bulbs.
Map light - 2 194 (6 - Led)
dome - 1 DE3175 (16 - Led)
doors - 4 194 (4 - Led)
trunk - 2 194 (6 - Led)
puddle lights - 2 194 (6 - Led)

I really want to do this also, just not sure if it's worth messing with the bumper!
