If someone figures this out, please let me know. I've tried it with IE and Firefox and nothing works.

 

~ listed above is the part number for the bulbs that i used in pics.

 

I can't even get to a spot to use the part number...not even a search on that site. Obviously I have something hosed up here somewhere. I'll just have to google it from somewhere else. Thanks for trying.

 

Found these PIAA bulbs for $10.55. They also have Solaris bulbs for about twice the price.

It looks real good Andrew...and, of course, I had to order them also. Thanks for the info.

 

~ they also make a great (h7) xenon "look" head lamp & fog lamp bulb (xenesis). the closest match yet... i have tried piaa & all other major name-brands.

best part... only $40. a set (w/ the $10 off internet pricing discount).

 

Ordered, not a bad price $12 USD plus $36 USD post and packaging to UK. Hope this looks as good on black as is does on Andrews white thing.

Cheers.

 

Just ordered mine too. Along with the headlight bulbs and front and rear turn signal bulbs for $103, not bad compared to other sites.

Now all I gotta do is wait, man I hate waiting.

 

i just picked up plate bulbs and already on car. thanks for the part number. you guys are doing a great job sharing ideas and part numbers. thanks again.

 

I am gob smacked... one day delivery (FEDEX) from the states... me happy... Makes me wonder why I am still waiting for my BORLA after more than five weeks... I want it now...
