Parking light bulbs

just wanted to see what kinda parking bulbs you guys have in your headlights, i saw someone with a colored one the other day and i wanted to see what you guys have to say about them.

Oh and another question. I was looking for power chips and i saw some on ebay. some say you can increase horsepower by 100 and mpg by 30. i want to know if anyones tried the ebay power chips? and if so how did they work on your lude?
thanks guys

i'd stay away from ebay products when considering parts for modding my lude, for the most part, stick to well-known names when you can. as for the parking bulbs, i have red ones in my lude currently, and i think it looks pretty sweet when i lock/unlock my car since both ends of the lude light up red

sort of. but legitimate chip/ecu upgrades aren't so pocket friendly like ebay says so.









as far as front parking lights go, i went from having the stock bulbs in there cuz i like the gold glow then i got some 4500k LED's and it was pretty nice for a while, then i had 7color-rotating LED's in there, and finally found some amber colored filament bulbs at a junkyard. so far i prefer the ambers.

somewhere would be something that actually GIVES you gains. such as a new intake, headers, exhaust, new pulleys, camshaft, flywheel, clutch, etc. pick and choose.

Yea, intake would be a good place to start. Parts that make power usually cost a pretty penny tho

sorry for the poor quality but you get the idea.

i know it sucks. which is why i really can't do anything because i'd be flatout broke for months if i upgraded anything. (sucks being a college kid)

anything that has reasonable numbers is always expensive as hell.

if anyone wants me to take pictures of my amber ones or a video of my 7-color LED's i can do it. it's 32F here so it's a lot warmer than it was for a couple weeks.

just too lazy to do it on my own.

thanks man it'll probably look better if i used a real camera instead of my sidekick but i was too lazy to go look for it. i think they are the same, its just those little bulbs that go near the bottom of the headlight.
