[Fugi]

second in from the center? are they dim little bulbs? the parking lights? when you turn the switch to the first notch do the small bulbs come on? Cant reall turn those off... guess you can open it up and pull the bulbs if you dont like them on.

these show how wide of an angle the light will emit

Choose whatever you want... they are fairly cheap. better than the $20 per pair from other places...

There are lots of member pics where they show diff LEDs...

o shoot it was da fog lights...H3 bulb is it? hmmm are those expensive? cuz mine are stocky amber and i want to change them cuz my low beams alone are blue-ish ... blue and amber looks gay together... hah (eekdance)

[Da 6]

yeah if you change the low beams all the stock white lights to include the sidemarkers if you get the clear ones will look lil amber. I found that out when I introduced 4100K hids to the equasion. Depends on which ones you get and what place you buy them. Silverstars go on and off sale alot but alot of people have been reporting that they recieved a "Bad Batch" of them. Same cover to get that 194 bulb out is where you can find the fogs. If you choose to get lower fogs the mazdaparts one will not fit since you already get fogs in the headlights. most states laws limit you to 2 sets of driving lights.

[crzygosu87]

so basically i need to change those ugly fog lights....sigh...maybe ill change da parking lights too....but dey're so weak...wut are the parking lights for? just show or something?

[Da 6]

Yeah cause our blinkers aren't park lights. Makes the car easy to be spotted from miles away.

[crzygosu87]

do u guys know how to change the fog lights? I tried to do it myself, but I cant seem to get my hand to fit in that small space that's provided to actually take off the plastic cap and execute the mod ... (yupnope)

[crzygosu87]

o God ... i got one fog replaced ... but i basically sacrificed my left hand to execute it --- ----;;

now just one more to go ...

oo yah fyi i bought silverstar h3's to replace my foglights ... but the thing is, after i replaced one w/ da sacrifice of my left hand, it looked kinda the same as my stock ... maybe cuz it wus in the daylight??? or does it have to warm up or something??? ne ideas?

[crossbow]

They are slightly whiter. It isn't a drastic change. If you were looking for "HID Light" lighting, you'll have to shell out alot more money then what silverstars cost.

The closest thing I've ever seen to an HID type (but in halogen form). lighting is PIAA bulbs, and they can set you back 70-80 USD. Keep in mind that the whiter/blue the light is from a halogen, the dimmer the bulb.

[crzygosu87]

so would you say i made a good choice with the silverstars? considering i don't want them to be too dim?

and you can tell the difference in color from the stock at night riite?

[crossbow]

Yes you can definitely tell a difference between stock and silverstars at night. But they aren't comparable to HID lightning, no matter how much the marketing tries to convince you.

Yes you can definitely tell a difference between stock and silverstars at night. But they aren't comparable to HID lightning, no matter how much the marketing tries to convince you.My experiance with Silverstars is not good. We had them in our old G20 and they burnt out every 4 months or so. When I went to a conventional headlight bulb..NO PROBLEMS. (alright) My ACURA has HID...but on the 6i, I think we will keep the stock lights as long as they work. :)

[crzygosu87]

hmmm aiite thanks for the info

[Da 6]

My 6i has hids and I seriously miss them right about now. Save up then decide if you wanna do a mod. then sit down and decide if you have a clue how to perfom the mod. 99% of the hid kits you wana use don't invlove splicing any of the vehicle wires ;) Remember that. I had the euro dezins with the lifetime warrenty. I later sold them to QuiQ after his silverstars crapped out on him. 6K had alot of people questioning if they were HIDs.
