Wal-Mart, Parts America, O'Reilly, and pretty much anywhere else that sells bulbs.

194 bulbs will work also since it's the same size as the 168. I'm using red incadescent bulbs from Autozone for now. Work good and no problems. Cost only $2.48 for 2.

Green will get you into some hot water with an annoying cop....

Just be careful...

I've got a few Non-DOT happy things, but green, blue, and red on the front of your car will get you into some easy hot water.

I agree, any color other than white or amber/yellow up front will get you pulled over. I don't drive around with just the parking lights on, and the headlights are bright enough that you don't really see the red. I've passed numerous police cars and haven't had problems with them. I also have illegal tint (30% all around) but I haven't been pulled over for those either. Then again, I don't drive like an idiot that attracts attention.

*for those who think I probably drive slow... well, most of the roads I drive usually have speed traps every day.*

VA is full of them. I need to get the cannon from an A-10 Thunderbolt and mount it to my car somewhere. One way to get rid of road rage haha.

i dont think hes retarded enough to drive around with them on. If theyre the autozone ones, there not even bright enough to see. I got the autozone ones, but im gonna switch them with leds. The reason why i didnt buy the leds at first was because i heard they stop working due to the heat from the headlights, but i went to superbrightleds,com, and they said that only occurs on GM vehicles. That they know of. btw....can anyone tell me what polarized leds and non polarized leds are?

polarized LEDs have to be inserted a certain way for them to light. If they don't light, just take them out and turn them, put them back in. Non-polarized LEDs don't have a certain way to insert them.

We have all the top of the line LEDs on our site, www.jlevisw.com

They're a little more expensive, but that's because
a) They are from Japan, so the LEDs are pure white and never purple
b) They have a lifetime warranty
