Very nice. Any chance we can get the type used and supplier for this white light mod.

Is it a straight replacement or did you have to do modification to the fixture.

Did it require special access to get to the lights or was simple to get to the fixtures. Assume you have to crawl under the car to get to them.

Nice job! Just looking for more information for a potential future mod.

Does this actually help you see more when backing up? I can't see jack with mine, I'd really like something brighter that shoots wider.

Kenny ; I think the main problem with the Sky is the location of your Back-up lights being in the middle. The type of Bulb you need would be like DDM's Trunk light in there ."Or" Buy a set of lights like the Solstice and locate them to the Outer sides of the Car.

Bobby, you/me &TS, the lighting kings. Just wish I had Joe's blinker mod. Now that's a lighting mod...

I would say if this is just a bulb swap, then I am in to try it out. How are you liking the Nokya's. I really like mine!

Yea these are straight replacements not modding needed. All you have to do is go from under the car to twist them out and swag, a bit of a pain tho. These one i order barely fit in the hole, had to do sum wiggling.....I dont really see too much better, i wanted these particular ones because of the price look lol...I got them from ebay (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/eleseed/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=)

Thanks for the information. Did not realize these were direct replacements. Shame it doesn't shed any more light for you. Thought it might since you went with pure white.
