They're actually xenon looking blue, almost same shade as headlights although pics came out white. Thanks Taka, I got the same ones you reccomended in an older thread. And thanks RotorGeek for the DIY. I've got some highbeams I'm gonna put in when I receive the super white 5 LED parking lights. Order high beams and fogs same time and they cut $5 off shipping.

I paid 19.99 for the fog light bulbs shipped
I paid 16.49 for the hi beams bulbs shipped
I paid 16.58 for the 5 LED parking lights shipped
They're actually pretty blue (the fogs) almost same shade as xenons. Look great paired up. The best will be the parking lights, those thing are almost as yellow as friggin turn signals...

What I can't understand is that the "Fog Lights " work only when the head lights are on. Its a contridiction in usage as the purpose is to iliminate the blinding effect of the headlights bounce back glare.

They also work with only the side lights on (the yellow ones) or at least they do on the UK spec.

No problem.
The bulbs in the headlights? You mean the ones closest to the Mazda badge, right? They're 194. I changed mine today, so it can be done, but does it suck... and nice looking.
