by the looks of it, i think as the sidelights are a bit of a pain to do it would be better to use LED 501's as they will outlast any normal bulb and the white ones give a slight blue tint to them which you like!
www.ultraLEDs.co.uk
dont know whether they are the cheapest but thats who i use for my LED bulbs etc...

cheers

Sidelights are ok they are really white! SUre they don't match the LED lifetime but if I'd knew better then I'd have bought LED  bulbs replacement!

Do you know any good HID xenon conversion kit for the Mazda 2? And by good I mean a kit which has hi and low beam separately. I know of H4 HID xenon kits where the high beam is set with a magnet mechanism which just puts the lamp further in front, thus succeeding a higher beam.

I don't know any specific kit other that the one I saw on the autobulbsdirect site! You want to install xenon bulbs and replace your current H4 lamps?

You should change your sidelights also to remove the yellow effect Smiley Have you tried the high beam?

High beam is the highest output from the lights the one you call highway light I think( the same when you flash your lights) Wink
