I purchased them at www.autolamps-online.com They are clear bulbs, not blue tinted, but the light is quite white, almost as white as PIAA Superwhites.  ------------------ P.

PackRat, how did you mount those driving lights??? I'm thinking about those style of driving lights at the same position. But I wonder if I could use just screws to hold them there. Thanks! AK Originally posted by PackRat: I purchased them at www.autolamps-online.com

I just drilled holes in the black pastic panel thingy behind the bumper. I mounted them as far back as I could drill the holes because the top lip of the bumper just barely covers the top of the beam and I was afraid the intense heat from the projector lenses might melt things. So far no problems. I think they look pretty good there and are well protected. Access doesnt seem to be a problem either.  ------------------ P.

Are those screws or nuts and bolts? BTW, I think you can use spacers if you want to have more clearance.

The kit came with both 2 nuts/bolts and 4 screws. I used the screws since I couldnt access the other side. (Maybe I could have tried, but I was too lazy! ) ------------------ P.
