Hard to get a decent photo showing the true colour, but for ooohh aaahhh value...
Image
Not quite as blue as the photo. Depends a bit which angle your looking at them from. The HID's are slightly more purple than this. Parkers are bit more white than the HID, but it's fairly close. I haven't found any 8000k colour T10 globes, but if I find em I'll buy em.

Yes, T10's do fit jonowong.

Borep you lazy bastard, here you go...

Go for a night drive in an FTO with HID. You might be surprised :wink:
Anyway, by the time you get that blower crankin Bennoz, the extra weight from HIDs wont be that much of a problem :D.
Comes down to how much night driving you do to justify it. I do a lot.

Your right.
Fog lights are on the "FTO Electrical Headf@#ks To Fix" list. Havn't worked since I got the car. Switch seems fine (First thing I checked) cos the dash lights come on when foggies turned on (unless switch is DPDT). Bulbs are fine, tested them too. It's sticking the multimeter in the spaghetti part that I haven't done yet.
Did a search a while ago, but could only find 6000k foglights. 8000k would overpower the parkers and match the HID much better. Must do a search again soon. If i can find em, might enthuse me to fire up the multimeter :wink:
