I'm assuming '08 bulbs are the same as 06-07 ?
(only cuz 08 was not listed in above auction )

Since i run a slight tint on my rear license plate frame, a lil extra light might help in avoiding traffic stops in the future(none yet, but state laws sez no tint over plate )

Thanks for the link

I did exactly this on my blue Ranger back in '93. Any mainstream autoparts store has those bulbs in different colors. I used blue. Never got pulled over for it either.

Yo Big Mo,

I purchased some on ebay! Expensive but "BRIGHT". Worth "EVERY" penny!

Nice Ride,

I think the pic in post #15 is the standard 194 bulb? The PIAA's have 4 LED's with a Diode inside that increases the Brightness!
