Hi all, new to the forum.

I was curious is anyone has changed their front park lights. Maybe some different colors??? Post up some pictues if you have them. I was thinking about switching my park lights to a while or blue bulb. To me the standard Halogen color looks cheap.

Thanks in advance!

I did an HID conversion on my regular lights, which gave off a white-blue shine... So the yellow parking lights HAD to go.

First I tried blue, but it was too rice-ish. Blue parking lights stick out in a "i did it on purpose" kind of way.

I then ordered white LEDs, which shine bright crisp white, and it looks great. No pics though!

I was kind of thinking the same about the blue lights. It's hard to picture in my mind though. If I could get a very light blue, almost white, kind of Xenon look. I bet that would be sweet!

Tou're so right X type, all yellowish and dull, not very attractive at all, I totally agree.
As posted I changed mine to PIAA 501 sidelights (blue) in combination with the sportzblue 80w/100w for the dipped / main / fogs.
They give off a bluish tinge very similar to Xenons / HID's and look the dogs B**l^cks they really do. They certainly fit in more with how the car should look

See the slight bluish tinge on the side lights? They look even better when on dipped beam, gives off a bluish HID look!

I have those same bulbs, bought them at wal-mart for like 3 dollars when I first bought the car. They look sweet on the video my brother just got of me acting a fooo in a school parking lot a few hours ago!
