It's worth it. Looks awesome.
Yeah, I know the bulbs are cheap, but I didn't want to spend $5 each on a bulb plus shipping only to find out the bulbs would have a bluish hue or something ricey like that. I don't see the purpose of the lights so I figure if the setup worked without the lights, I'll just save $20 and yank the bulbs.

!st click - parking lights (amber headlight blinker, bumper marker, rear parking lights)

2nd click - HID low beam (+ fog if switch is ON position; otherwise just HID low)

Well im dropping by the dealer today regarding the fog lights in the lower bumper. Will speak to them about swapping the city lights and H4's for piaa & luminics jdm yellows

I have LED's in there now but they look blue and one is flickering so needs to be replaced. I also want my clear corners to match my city lights. I love driving with my parking lights on just before it gets dark.

^ PIAA is a good bulb brand but seems very pricey for a set of 168 bulbs. I ordered mine from http://www.superbrightleds.com ($1.39 per bulb). Installing the bulbs is a little tricky since you need to get behind the wheel well covers where there is little room behind the headlight assembly to work with.

those are PIAA LED's. Trying to stay away fom LED's for fear the fog light bulb will be too hot for them.
