They're called adaptive headlights. I'd love them on the G as well, but it doesn't look like they're including it in the '06 model.

No idea, but it sure would be nice. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on this.

Tons of work. IF you've got $$ to burn, then I guess it's possible.

Alright, I've read this whole post and haven't seen a definitive reaction on the difference/what's better between PIAA Super White Wedge bulbs or PIAA White/White or White/Blue LEDs. I've gathered from some posts that the LEDs are too directional and do not fill the entire bulb housing, while others say the Wedge bulbs are not bright enough. Any input on this specific matter would help my decision.

Here is the site I'm looking to order the lights off,

http://www.importperformancewarehous...ture_bulbs?b=1

I'm thinking the Platinum Super Whites(19169) will work the best, if anybody suggests something better I'd appreciate to know.

I actually picked a bunch of lights from them, picked it up since they are local to me. Very cheap prices and I got great service!

I put the PIAA LED's in the clearence and they light it up very well! As far has sidemarkers are concerned the wedge bulb would be better as th eLED's don't disperse the light as well!

yeah i found that out, both bulbs fit in both slots.

can anyone tell me if they've gotten pulled over for having bluish white clearance lights (like using the PIAA super plasma or the white/white LED lights) cuz i just ordered some earlier today.

i bought the PIAA single LED lights before to replace the stock amber ones for the clear side corners. they give off a faint bluish hue but were too dim for my taste.

i also got the PIAA blue/blue LEDs and they are just GORGEOUS at night. but of course i would get pulled over so i'm only going to use them in photo shoots.

sorry i'm a newbie but isn't that for the signal (stock amber) lights?
the dual filament would give you an always-on signal light, while the single would only flash when you use your turn or hazard signals.

as far as i'm concern the parking (clearance) and side markers, as well as the license plate lights, can be replaced with the 168 bulbs
