We also let you swap them out to another temp if you try and don't like the color (within 14 days of purchase).

Sounds great to me, would you PM me the pricing for your 6000k's to 75024? Would love to get my lights back on the car ASAP but don't want to put them back in without new bulbs because I'm pretty sure the one is broke! I'll shoot you a PM for faster response but thanks for your post

The parking lights are the same as the interior map light and the license plate lights, part number 194.

I just ordered my 6000k from JW motoring, bulbs never flicker when they are switched on, great brightness however i think my right side seems to be dimmer than the left....

jameeljoker · 01-09-2014, 04:55 PM

Has anyone had better luck with a different brand? Maybe the CBI's?

I just installed the 6000k bulbs from JW Motoring. The first picture is a side by side, left side is the 6k installed and the right is the stock bulbs. The final is the end results. Hope it helps. Just gives you that slight tint of blue! Very good company to deal with and super fast shipping. Bought all my interior LEDs from them as well.

JWMotoring · 01-28-2014, 04:21 PM

Thanks a lot. Looks great!

For anyone wondering we sent jameeljoker (post 104 and 105) a new bulb. I believe he has it installed and is happy with it

Did anyone ever find a bulb that worked every time? W/ no problematic misfiring or anything? Is the morimotor bulb good?

ghost_ix · 02-28-2014, 04:58 PM

I bought a set of Morimoto bulbs; the right side would fire up for a second then go out. Repeatedly turning my light off and on did not make em work. Ultimately I returned them. I emailed the company to get a replacement set but was told the "Matsushita ballasts your car has are unfortunately notoriously finicky when used with any aftermarket bulbs regardless of quality" and that only OEM bulbs will work.

But others on here seem to have better luck than I did with aftermarket bulbs.

We've had great results with ours over the years. Issues are very rare, and we take care of them if/when it happens.

I just ordered what I thought were quality (Phillips) lamps in 5000k. I was VERY frustrated to find they ignite for a second then turn off. I guess it's a common problem with these cars and ballasts. I'm looking for a quality replacement in 5000K.

I've just been disappointed, too.
I ordered the Philips 85122 WX 6000K from Philipsxenon and installed one bulb on the right side. I have to switch the light on/off for 6-10x before the Philips will stay lit. As if it needs to be conditioned. Once it's warmed up I can switch off/on and it won't flicker. But once cooled down again I have to repeat the 6-10x switch procedure to make it stay on

Really thought this quality bulb would work. The bulb clearly ignites . It's the stay-on condition. Maybe our ballasts are little bit low on that 85V "on-voltage" or something.
The color is absolutely amazing though.

After playing around with "quality" aftermarket bulbs, and having problems with em, I decided to bite the bullet and get some Osram Cool Blue Intense (CBI). They work as expected and they better for damn near $200

They are advertised as 5000K or 5500K (cant remember). To me they are Pure White, with no yellow, and a very slight tinge of blue. I do wish they were a little bit more blue, but overall I'm happy with em because they actually work!

KaienZ34 · 03-31-2014, 01:59 PM

What brand are you guys using for the parking light led's? I know part number 194 works and I have a set of led's in there now but they always blink and flash on and off.
