ya the seller i got them from only have that size in white. now theres a few other sellers that have them in diff colors but looking at the pics they look like lower quality. also they come from hong kong. while not always the worst thing (i get all my leds from hong kong) but buyer beware too

with that said if you look the color isn't off white like incandescent bulbs but the cool white like on HID's. I really wanted blue as well but after its all said and done im glad all i could get is white. they look nice

So as a few of you guys know one of my headlights was trashed in my recent car crash. And i asked about buying a single CCFL in each side instead of 2 pairs again and they said they wouldnt be able to seperate them... So should i buy 2 more pairs and have 1 left over in each size? or **** it? Someone had the idea of using them for the rear inner tail lights but if i have them mismatched and white over red if i really want to use em

I would just buy 2 more pairs and do this again, now that you have the know how. Besides, if you have an extra of each and one decides to shat the bed, you always have the part on hand imo. Sweet idea though, how did you separate the lens and reseal it? I'm about to do this and was wondering... Thanks!

ya i just reordered a pair again. i was being lazy about the whole thing but i need to re do it . You just heat up the "glue" with a heat gun and pry it apart. watch out because you can melt the plastic/bend it if its hot. Just go slow and a lil bit at a time

I use the 105 blue but if you want buy the white.
A soon you open the taillight you will see the middle is transparent you will what I do or just stay with the middle in white. I used for the middle,vinyl red roll use to make stickers. I just put that to make the middle look red to the interior of the light .

ya they came in packs of 2. so you would buy a pack of 90s and one of 100s to give you all 4 you need (one 90/100 per side)

Bought from the vendor you sudjested, I talked with him and he found some 90mm that have the chrome piece if i want them. But after test fitting them today I decided to skip that idea and put them together as I like the look without the chrome on one.
