IMO id rather get LED parkers, they last much longer and they still have a blue colour to them. More expencive but well worth it.

Will these globes be too bright?

They are 8000K.

They also have 7500K ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PIAA-...55#ht_1098wt_0

Bit expensive though, but I'm told PIAA are a good brand.

Alternatively, Philips Diamond Vision, 5000K: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PHILIPS-Diamo...d=p3286.c0.m14

What would everyone recommend?

2 ways to do it, use ur finger nails and unclip it little by little or remove the whole grey plastic thing...

I used the 1st method to do the door light with LED(the middle one), and 2nd methord for th reading light.

Definitely go the diamond visions. I've got them on order from uk @ $65 so i'd pay $79 if they were located here for sure. plus they're like $150 at places like auto-barn. Have them on my Fiesta zetec as well. they look great. Diamond Vision FTW!

Im thinking about getting 55w 8000k globes from an auto store. Just a question of interest;
how blue are the 5000k globes?

^not so blue? lol....

those tinted bulbs, the hotter/longer theyre on, the yellower it gets. unlike HID (the hotter the whitter)

Less blue than the 8000K ones, but they are much brighter, if I understand correctly.
