well heres the story, i wanted a "clean" look in the front of the car... so i bought the white bulbs from the ecelica store, and they are BRIGHT!!! but the blue glass cramped my clean look, so i found a set of clear bulbs at conoco (gas station) for 99 cents... cut the nub off and put it in, tell me how you like it, it is lite'er when lit then the blue ones, but i still like them

Your hood is open.

j/k

I think they look good, but I like that blue look. Especially when highbeam bulbs are the same color.

i just scratched the orange paint off of the stock bulbs. same effect.

they look great and go good with the monotone headlight scheme.

BTW do you have hyperwhite low-beams?

how did you scrach off the yellow? with a file? i hoped the yellow was paint, so i used alochol and paint thinner to get it off, with no luck i bought the blue bulbs from ecelica, too bright though, so i got these other bulbs, ill take a night shot so you can see the effect im comparasion to the blue ones...

yes it was some sort of paint. i got a bolt that have threads that were closer together and used it as a file. it worked like a charm thumbsup

when the bulbs light up, they look like the ones that you can see in cars like BMW and Mercedes and other luxury imports/domestics. thumbsup
