Thumbs up New Lights This Weekend - What do you think?

I recently changed out my headlights, fog lights, and parking lights. It bugged me how the fogs and the parking lights were different colors so I went with more of a yellow bulb for both the fogs and the parking lights. Here is before and after.

Parking lights before:

Fogs and Parking Lights After:

Access to fogs 2:

To change out the headlights and parking lights I turned the wheels All the way to one side and pulled the protecting cover down. This was a lot easier than taking the wheels off like I did the first time I changed the headlights.

Hope this helps a little for others who want to change their lights out and achieve different colors.

Overall pics..

From factory it looked like three different shades of light.. it bothered me.

Now I have the white headlights and yellow parking and fogs. Also changed out the rear license plate light with the white LED to match front headlights color.

Suby i think he had an aftermarket intake so he took it out for easy install only one screw really.

And the light look different and nice but i like the all white style, still atleast you dont have the 3 different shade lights that i hate...

Yep, you're right... I have the stillen "massively offensive heatshields" so unless suby01 could do any better or he has a hand that is like a little baby's he would have done the same thing by taking the airbox off. LOL

I'd eventually like to do the hyperwhites all around but here was my concern for doing so. I live in FL where there is a lot of fog and rain so I wanted to keep yellow for that reason as it is more visible in those conditions.

It's a process trying to find all white colors that match... this way I only had to match 2 bulbs in yellow.

thanks for the comments
