Swapped the City Bulb?

I went searching and found a ton of you swapped map lights, trunk lights and license plate bulbs, but couldn't find any pics of the city bulb swapped in the headlights, I'm kind of liking the factory color, but obviously I can't leave anything alone, but i wanted to see what hyper white or a HID matching color looks like. Not the Fog lamp, but the little city light in it.

Could you give info on the bulb brand, color, size, specs.
Also, did you change your headlight bulbs as well?

Nam: This is how I want my lights to look. In fact, this is the light I thought you were changing. Not that tiny one. In fact, I thought you said this light was the "fog lighs". I'm sure I have them mixed up. I'm so confused.

Soooo, do you know how to change these too?? Pls say yes. hehe ;-)

Kim,
i think u got them mixed up...those choy showing are his city lights which were the ones i changed on ur car....those piaas that u got will not come close to those LEDs..but if u want to change ur fogs, i can do that too...just takes a lil longer, gotta go thru the wheel well

hate to say i told u so...but remember, i went with those Piaas too and didnt like them

heres wat mines look like with LEDs from superbrightleds but looks like my picture taking skills suck..maybe i need to take pics when there's still a lil light out

btw, look at how much cheaper those LEDs are compared to those piaas..so who cares if LEDs don't last that long

Nam: Ok, are you saying that daggone Black Betty advised me to buy those WHACK azz (damn near dim) Piaa's and waste my money??? Is that what you're saying?????? haha

You have every right to say "I told you so". The PIAAs were not what I expected. Grrrhhh.... Maybe they last longer, but not very bright at all.

WOW, your lights look AWESOME too!! That's exactly what I'm talk'in 'bout!! Ok, so those are your city lights?? Right? If so, then you did change the correct light, I just used the wrong bulbs. So, I need LEDS!!! Which ones are those?? I have to copy. hehe

I don't need to change the fogs then. Good!
