The mix and match of the white HID Headlights and the yellowish sidemarker, parking lights, and foglights always looked strange to me. For less than $40, you can make them all white. Here is what I used:

Sidemarker LEDs from www.superbrightleds.com circled in red (they just fit)

Parking light LEDs (BAX9) from
http://superlumination.com/otherleds.htm
H6W BAX9s 64132 Bayonet Bulbs (Offset Bayonet Pins)

Foglights Blue Halogens(H3s)

Special thanks to M32 for his advice

here are the photos:

Since we are talking about bulbs...

You guys may also want to go with the chrome plated bulbs for the blinkers up front and back. 7507 amber for front, 7507 red for rear.

Also, the door lights are also 168/194 bulbs like the side markers. The side dome lights are also 168/194. The middle one is a festoon 42mm.

Maybe I missed something, but just to be sure, these bulbs dont cause any over heating or plastic melting?
