Lights

Two questions. One the parking lights what bulbs are you guys putting in the parking because they are so dull even compared to the stock lights. 2nd question. Is it possible to just change the bulb in the fogs without taking out the yellow thing? I kind of like the yellow and was wondering would different bulbs say hyper white would be to hot for the plastic thing or would it just look stupid? If someone has done this let me know.

headlights are H4 i believe.. as for the bulb behind the fogs, you can change those out if you want but if your going to keep the yellow condom on then i suggest just replace them with the factory bulb. theres no sense in paying extra for hyper whites if its not really going to show....but thats just my .02

The parking lights are kind of dim. Theres really nothing you can do about that. 168 bulbs are a little small to light up that whole light. I dont know why Honda used those. They should've used 1156's. Anyway as far as the fogs, if you leave the yellow covers and change the bulb, the light will always appear yellow. If you like the yellow look, you can take the yellow covers out, and put PIAA Ion yellow bulbs. They'll still be yellow but alot brighter than stock because there isnt a yellow filter blocking half the light.

So say if you were to get a H.I.D. kit the parking lights still would be dim?
