Pics dont do the headlights nor the lux justice.

As for the blinker bulbs: I've had them for awhile...if I remember correctly i think I bought PIAA 1156 - super white?

marc and ty - good job and good look, respectively. i'm still trying to save for enough for one of your install jobs, marc
Can anyone point me in the direction of a comparison between LUX 4 and 5? I'm trying to think what would look better on Monaco Blue... more white or more blue.

Hey - sorry i didnt get back to you sooner. With LUX 4 and 5, they are the exact same brightness, however they are only a bit of a different color.
LUX 5 - 5500k - matches the OEM Xenon's perfectly
LUX 4 - 8000kish - more of a blueish hue

Marc, yea I saw the ad in the group buys where you were describing the difference... I think I'm decided on LUX 5, but not for a while :\

To all buyers, i have told them to purchase some orange reflective tape and to make their own "e92 Style" reflectors. this way it will meet the DOT laws
