I had m6 in. I see a bubble forming on the bulb....it means that it will go out or explode very soon. Try PIAA instead.

I had an M4 before and it's not bright enough, so I settled with M6. So far no problem melting or busting bulbs whatsoever...

Yeah it seems to be a "case-by-case" situation. I just took my roadlamps out....a little ram-air action Also, air flow should help keep the engine/tranny area a bit cooler in the summer months.

Buy the M-6

Buy about 8 of them

options auto is about 5.00 a bulb

i replace one every 3-4 months, but I also have never shut off my headlamps in the last 25000 miles.

I have M6s in the "foglight" housings. I have M4s in my doors (the little light in the door when it's open).

I have yet to blow either M6 (but I'm sure they'll go now that I said that) but I did take care to never actually touch the bulb with my skin so no oils got on it. They don't look bubbled at all and they work great. The color matching is fine and there isn't supposed to be much light given off because those stupid housingss aren't even foglights, they're marker lights.

As soon as one bulb goes, I'm taking both bulbs out, and possibly both housings and either putting in the '03 covers or just empty housings. I really like the look of the front end with the light housings down there, though. Too bad they're not as functional as the TL's.
