I just ordered my Polargs M-6 . Waiting for them to get here. They more closly match the HID headlights and are a lot brighter which is what I wanted, since the existing ones are absolutly useless.

The only real hazard to them is that they do not just slip in. It's a tight fit and some members have used a Dremel tool to enlarge the opening to make them fit. Others have broken the bulb putting it in. I bought two and haven't put them in yet (M6). I currently have PIAA19169's in and they look better than stock in my opinion. Others disagree.

To put them in I want to remove the housing and try that way instead of pushing them in from the rear.

The PIAA's were easy to put in from reaching under and behind the bumpre. Really simple. I put them in the road lamp housing but I want to go to a brighter bulb. I bought them from autosupermart.com. Look at my other post.

Ha ha.... it's a name assigned me by AOL for Instant Messenger. I have an ol' 68 Pontiac LeMans convertible that looks like a GTO. I tried to use gt01968 but it was taken. It only gives you so many tries and then you have to wait 24 hours to reapply. So I took gto2050. It was their suggestion. Means nothing really. It's easy for me to remember.

I have said this about 27 times now.....I dicked with trying to unscrew the housing for 10 minutes and its a pain in the ass because my hand wont fit in enough to turn the screw driver....i then decided to try the old fashioned way. i reached right up under the bumper gave the bulb a quarter turn and it came right out, slid the Polarg M6 right in (no problems with size if you take your time), gave it a quarter turn and that was it. so to sum it up, it takes 10 times longer to unsrew the housing than to just reach under and replace the bulb.
