Changed Low Beam, Park, & Signal lights to White w/ PICs
I changed my low beam head lights with Luminics Ultra White, signal and park lights with xenon white bulbs. The white bulbs gives a pure white color with a tint of blue mainly due to the reflection of the blue bulb itself.
You can see the difference between the luminics color and the fog lights. (The stock low beam is the same color as the fog lights.)
I choose Luminics over Silverstar due to all the reviews on this site plus it was a lot cheaper shipped! so thanks Luminics!
Installation took about 30min, this is my first time installing headlight bulbs. It was as easy as changing bulbs in ur lamp, except the park lights took a lot longer becasue they are on really tight, and really hard to twist due to its position and location. I would suggest wiggling and turn at the same time make sure you know which direction to turn it to. you can tell which direction to turn by looking into the headlights.
Anyhow, I am very happy on how it all turned out!
I'll be getting Luminics UV for my fog lights as soon as i figure out how to take out the bottom plate. Its way too deep and tight to reach from the top.
on with the pics
Signal light and park light both on:
Low beam + park + signal + fog lights

I have done my low beam and high beam with Sylvania SilverStar! Looks great! 
But not the turn signal, it just looks weird not having it orange!

When you took the pictures for the turn signals did you just flick them on and just timed it right when they lit up or is there a way to actually have them on all the time like parking lights...
I changed the light in the turn signal too and it looks awesome, and really bright

the stock head lights are the same color as stock fog lights.
when taking the pics of turn signal i just turned the blinkers on and snapped away.
The turn signals are legal as long as the color is either white or amber.
The park lights are 194, turn signals are 7440.
yeah, my next replacement would be the fog lights, plan on getting the luminics UV bulb, and after that I wanna figure out how to get rid of the orange corners in the headlight housing, and how to change the color in the side view mirrors.
