What is the effect you want? You could always replace the bulbs with LED bulbs.

Head over to superbrightleds.com and buy some of the 'natural white' bulbs. They're 4500k, the same as the factory hids. No blue tint to them.

There's a difference between lighting up about a foot of the street due to the leds over putting a wal mart tag cover with leds on...ponder that?

I put these ones in. They look OK to me and they have the error free circuit inside them.

You just gotta remember they are + and - orientated and don't do what I did and think you got sold a dud!!! Just turn it around and away she goes!!
