lol, that's how i aim my headlights so that the HID are "medium" beam

With the cones outta the housings, my car does a very good job of "parting" the sea of cars.

Do you have a part #? Also I just wanted to clarify that I meant the driving/turn signal lights and not the actual headlights.

Thanks

Parking/turn signal lights are not driving lights. They are not for illumination of the road but for making the car visible to other drivers. The driving lights look similar to fog lights, are in the "mouth" of the car and were optional. Those use H3 bulbs. If you need turn signal and/or parking light bulbs, take the assembly out with a phillips screwdriver, pull the bulb and walk into PepBoys and buy yourself new bulbs. You can probably find yourself some cool clear or blue ones. Now stop hijacking this thread!

They are white. No blue at all. Nice and bright. I'm also using them in my regular lights (H4 bulbs).

I found a good price on ebay from j-lee_global:

Hijacking?.... Isnt this thread about headlights/lighting for an FD? I just wanted to see if there was a way to get said lights brighter than they are currently. And of course I don't use them for my primary driving lights at night.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. The problem with putting stronger bulbs in the parking light housing is heat. Those housings will melt it you put in, for example, a halogen bulb. There may be some slightly brighter bulbs. Pull one and go to PepBoys or another large automotive store. You should be able to find different options on the shelf.
