Yeah, but it's your car, do what ever the hell you want to it. If someone says something about it, just bitch slap them. Are you talking about the HID looking bulbs? If so, I think everyone uses those. I do. They look pretty good. Just don't say, they are brighter, because they arent. They just look good.

I had blue bulb signals,looked good for about a week then they started to fade and turn greenish in color. I would definitely recommend buying the bulbs with the actual blue glass and not the painted ones. I now have white ones and I think they look better, blue looked kind of cheesy. I also have amber LED side markers and LED brake lights also. The brake lights don't put out as much light but they look pretty damn cool. I'm thinking about going with white rear turn signals also but still not sure about it yet.

Yeh, I know it's a wagon......
I'm just tired of people ragging me about it so I call it a 4 door hatchback.

If you get an anal cop, he might pull you over for white/blue/other non-standard colour turn signals and other bulbs. Especially blue and red. Its a big ticket for "impersonating a police car." I've even heard people getting nailed for that when they have those neon windshield washer nozzles. Just a heads up.

well the windshielf washer nozzles are horribly gay IMHO. although i saw one guy had his wired up to his turn signals , thats kinda skillful, i guess.

That happened to me, jackass cop $75 on some blue washer led's
a week before I got the ticket a cop threatened me with $600 of fines, he told me it was $75 PER BULB, (this cop was an idiot), I asked him which ones were illegal so i could change them and he got realy flustered, that idiot told me my foglights were illegal, some red lights on the BACK of my car were illegal because they were liciense plat bolts, and that my Hyper white corner lights were illegal because "at a first glance they looked blue"
all I have to say is KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS or they will try and f*** you

Save up and get the real HID's I did and oh what a diffrence, I didn't opt for the BLUE ones cuz S. Fla cops are prics, but the regular xenon bulb set up makes it look like you were driving at night with your parking lights before .. Well worth the investment.

Sylvania has a awesome lineup of VERY bright and great quality bulbs. Even the cool blues are actually brighter than the stock bulbs which is not the norm. Even the PIAA's are dimmer than the stock bulbs.

hey, i have a midntie blue mp5, and i put xenon bulbs all around, front side and rear markers as well as my headlights and fog lights, i used the ones from tucan, there were fairly reasonable and look exactly like the hid or piaa, which are so fucking expensive there jsut not worth it, mine look amazingly sick

rule of thumb, if you have to ask, it is most likely very stupid.
