    Was it just the blue lights you got for the 20 bucks? Or were there brighter driving bulbs aswell? I must have missed that, if it improved the quality of your lights I may try em out.

    well if they are an led you just have to figure out how to get a differnt color led in there,if they are the two prong bulb like what goes in the side marker lamps,it's a 194naxl for amber. you can get that at any auto parts store,it's a standard bulb.

    Actually no, one of the big advantages of HID is that you get a lot more light for less power...

    Re: Those "diamond cut" little blue "city lights"

    YES! I had them on my last honda. They worked quite well, but it really depends on the bulbs you use. If you use ricey blue bulbs, light output sucks. But if you use normal WHITE bulbs, not superwhite super lame super rice bulbs, the light output is GREAT. I want to get some for my new 3g but I haven't had the $ yet.

    From my own experience the Raybrig White Sonic Bulbs are the best. I tried Piaa,Nokia,Silverstar,Cuzo,Autolite and by far Raybrig is king. It will cost around $80 shipped, but you wont regret it.

    Re: Those "diamond cut" little blue "city lights"

    finally someone put it in writing,thats why I'm getting the hella lamps,better optics,better lens, the mass produced lenses on sealed lamps are manufactured as cheap as possible, the lenses on quality composite lamps like hella have much better quality optics.

    Re: Those "diamond cut" little blue "city lights"

    Silverstars are junk. They have a heavy blue coating, so the filament is overdriven like crazy in order to get decent light output from them, which makes their lifespan almost NIL. Anyone remember the Sylvania Cool Blues? Those were pretty decent... they weren't really blue at all, they just didn't look yellow. Lots of light output. Too bad they quit making them and switched to the twice as expensive replace every season Silverstars. :\

    I have cool blues in my beretta right now, they look a lot better than stock (bright white output).. and I have been very pleased.

    I be damn, didn't know that. Learn something everyday "so to say".

    I thought it was the opposite, & drawing more wattage, being that is was a better light output.

    Re: Those "diamond cut" little blue "city lights"

    heres something else. the HID systems usually draw 35 watts and have a ballast that brings the power up, so its pretty much doing what an amplifier does on your stereo. someone had said the hid bulbs dont get hot, but they do. i felt the lense on my friend porsche. they do get hot.
