Just saw the look on the video. Jk on that...

So how do I know it's 6000k? And any ideas on how to find one with wire resistors built in?

You may not be able to find them. Not all cars need them and some people like the hype flash.

Your more then likely going to just need to find a auction with the resistors included so you don't have to buy them separately

Yup 3157 is the bulb you need, the resistors won't be build in, you with have to wire them in. Should say somewhere the k of the bulb. The seller I bought from included the resistors.

I think there is a anti hyper flash fuse you can get as well...

Where did you mount the resistors?

Ah, your right. They do make heat. I know I ziptied them, but I can't remember to what exactly , sorry it's been close to a year and half since I put them in....

Question - at night both the white color and your headlight is on at the same time?

How's that look?
