Its going to look weird if you try to match with the HID's. &nbsp;Your car uses H4's and 4300, 5600K and so one are just the amount of light (shades of color) that the lighting give off. &nbsp;4300K provides the best lighting (from what I hear) and the higher you go the more purplish the light becomes.

the corners take 194's, but different colors have different names. &nbsp;For example amber is 194A and red is 194R. &nbsp;I forgot to mention that even those HID's come in different colors, its not going to be a fixed color. &nbsp;

Have you ever seen a car with HID that is a mile away with bluish lights, but when you get close to them the light is white?.....get what I mean? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

no and your turn signals are a different size. &nbsp;You should be able to find color bulbs at any performance shop in your area or the APC section at any auto shop. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'> &nbsp; I'm serious about that.

HID's or bulbs for your corners?

HID can vary from $350 - $700

corners $2.00 - $15.00 &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

yea McCulloch it good.

Bulbs for the corners.....just as I mentioned above. &nbsp;Local places are the best. &nbsp;There are too many sites on the net that can help you out (or rip you off). &nbsp;I can't help you on the sites because I think its rather pointless to search the net for a pair of 194 bulbs that you can get from almost any shop.

Well I got the Raybrig corner bulbs when I put in the HID kit in my car. I forgot the model # but its the one with the blue coating on the bulb. It matches pretty well with the 4300k output. You can see the pics on this thread (the camera sucks though so its not the TRUE color it looks like in real life):

well for your deck you can get a wire harness kit from ebay and else where so you can put that into the factory wire harness and then do the color match of the wires to your deck.. o btw those kit range from as low as 5 (ebay) to 20 on some websites. hope that helps a little.

hm...i have thought about this question before, but i ended up putting even true orange color on the corner to look different, it actually looks really nice with my 7500K Philips HID in my projectors(All my friends think so too) because i don't wanna look kinda( i mean KINDA) rice, and i wanna be different....~!
