For the fogs and parking lights it's no biggie (except the parking lights tend to burn out from time to time). You can also go HID's for the fogs too.

Me personally, I have HOEN driving lights in my fogs

Light bulb code

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

Found this light bulb code page. I think there's one somewhere in this forum but thought I'd post one here just in case. This is for my make and model though (2007)

Do I need a kit for the HID fog lights? I just want that white light look, I'd be fine even if it was a bulb as long as it's that white color.

Yes, check out this thread by Alucard, that seems to be a legit kit that is reasonably priced.

These are pretty cheap but since they're shipped from overseas the shipping is like 30 bucks lol.

I taped some of those free flashlights from harbor freight in the foglight position and it's a nice bright white light. Doesn't do too good on canyon runs or during a hurricane or high temps or in fog but great otherwise.

Speaking of which, I have a coupon for a free one

On a side note, has anyone seen Gregs car in Modified Magazine? I noticed quite a few mistakes in the article.

I love the fact that you have to bend the fins yourself when it arrives...

Interior lights are okay but there is something with LED's in the tails that cause issues. I believe some type of resistor or something is needed.

I'm down, just let me know when and where.

Yeah I was reading that it might need a resistor. How do other people get brighter reverse lights then? Do they just get brighter bulbs?

It doesn't really matter to me, I am cool with the 50/50. But we should come up with an alternative just in case.
