Lighting??

[dc82]

I'm sorry as this is probably a stupid question. Forgive me, I just picked up my MS6 yesterday and I'm still not super familiar with it's workings. I need to know a good source for headlight bulbs, etc. I want to swap out the parking lights. Are there any good sites for mods/lights? Also, how do you change the parking lights? Do you need to take the air box out on the driver side? Thanks!

Probably LED for right now. But also, how do you get to the parking lights to replace them? I can't say I've spent a whole lotta time back there, just kinda propped the hood up and saw there wasn't a direct way to get them out. I would like to get some bright LED bulb in there to match the stock low beams and the Titanium White Luminics bulbs I will be ordering for my fogs.

I have the PHILIPS Xtreme Power H7 +80% from suvlights.com and they are bright but the Osram Hyper H7 65W (10W higher) was much brighter.

tried the Osram Silverstar +50% before and I think the numbers are just hype like the PIAA 55W=85W BS
guy at suvlights said there is no substitute for higher wattage, and I have to agree they also showed me a trick to swap the 9005 high beam bulbs for 9006 low beams on my Camry

Stay away from the aftermarket brands, those bulbs either burn out fast/sometimes explode, but mostly produce poor light output or have misaligned filaments that give wacky beams

I just removed my parking lights (the little ones by the high beam) I can't stand the look and LED's die due to the heat. I wonder if the newer ones are better but I'm happy with the look now. At night the front of my car doesn't look like a 6.
