Wanting to change every light.

I'm wanting to change every light on an in the car, I need a list of all of them, I dun a search and got a few on here but not all...

For the interior lights I'll will either get the Polarg M16 or PIAA T-6....Which do you guys prefer?

The Fog lights are H3
The Head lights are H4

I want at least 5000K on the H4 and H3 lights, any preferences? plus what are the wattages for our cars on those bulbs....I don't want to melt anything.....

ok, last question.... What are the rest of the bulbs in the car?

Thanks,
Derek

Well I was looking into that picture and looking at the DIY/Info and the picture looks like it's not for the First Gen and the DIY/Info page has only 3 bulbs out of all of them and the rest are ? marks

I think the max wattage is 55 watts. I wouldn't recommend any colored bulbs at all. Either the stock halogens or real HIDs. If you get superwhite 55 watt bulbs you'll have a dimmer floor pattern. I really don't think they would melt the wires as long as the wattage is the same. The only way to have bright superwhites is to up the wattage and then you have a chance of melting your wires. Plus they really suck in the rain. You can probably get an HID kit for about $400 and it'll save you all that hassle plus it'll be 3x brighter and last for years.

www.suvlights.com has them pretty cheap but I've never bought anything from them. Ebay is cheap but you won't get a warranty. Do some research before buying. Maybe someone else on the forum can help you out with this.
