New headlight bulbs installed
When I changed my corner corners to clear I didnt like the stock bulbs cuz they came out yellow so I decided to changed the whole headlight bulbs and the corner markers and now they look like this before and after.

Did you have Xenon lights before and they looked yellow? I'm going to check mine tonight, but They look aufully white to me except that I agree with you that the little driving lights do look a little yellw and the fogs are definitely yellowish.
Do they have a brighter (whiter) Zenon bulb? what was the cost?

Just warning you in case you made the same mistake that I did. If they are the cheap off brands, I would suggest you take a look at some Sylvania Silver Stars to replace them. They are worth the money.-Sean

Ruined a perfect set of headlights Just warning you in case you made the same mistake that I did.

Those bulbs will burnout in 6months.... I had the same thing and they were Piaa bulbs too.... Gone in 6 months and if you'll notice on the box there is no garauntee ....hmmm. After asking around, it turns out that my instance was more than just bad luck.
To do that look properly you would have to replace your entire headlight sys; its more than simply bulbs. You should have went for the GT as it comes with the HID Xenon head lamps.
But as they say... "hindsight is 20/20"

Just randomness,
but I also purchased the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, but I bought them on eBay from a user named ron_sorrells and they were shipped within 2 business days and brand new all sealed. I won the auction for around 10 dollars and 4-5 dollars for shipping so just wondering if anyone else wanted to buy these.
