u can just type what u want in Search in ur web browser and many online shops will come up or someone else may post the link to their fav place -

As for the replacing:

Get under the car and side u wanna change the road lamps of....and there are 3 'pop-out' style screws which u need to take out. They are a bit hard to find cos they blend in with underbody. But just pop em out and pull down on that plastic piece u just loosened. By doing this, it will directly give u direct access to the road lamps. I believe u turn the socket clockwise just a tad and it'll pop out. Replace the bulb and place the light back in its place and work ur way backwards. Do the same for the opposite ride and ur set.

Shouldnt take u more then 5-10 mins... its very simple. And look in ur owner's manual to find those 3 screws. I didnt touch the light with my barehands just to be safe so wear gloves or use a cloth.

I have the polarg m4 which are only 8 so they arent that bright. I like them tho they are a bit on the purple side. If u want em brighter go with the m6 which are 18 and match the HID better.

You could do that.... or you could take the one screw out from the front of the car and pop the entire housing out in 5 seconds.

Not that either way is hard, but I'm a lazy SOB. Easier the better.

If the Polarg's are alittle on teh blue side then what is out there that matches with the stock headlights? Also should they be 15W so that they match up with the headlights?
