HiD conversion ... now what bulbs to use?

Hi guys I have a 6k set up on my 2.2 CL

What side marker bulbs look good with this type of setup? ..... also what bulbs would look good on the signal lights?

A lot of people will try to match the HIDs with white LEDs or superwhite LEDs (a bit of blue to the color). I still have regular headlight bulbs, but to avoid having to color match bulbs I just use amber to contrast in all 4 corners.

And since your car is black, amber will look even better.

wedge's only face outward,the refractor will give you the best output.(all angles)
