Perhaps some fog lamps take those...maybe you can get some aftermarket fog lights and use them for that. Just a suggestion.

So let me get this straight - I have an 04, and I picked up a set of "Xtreme Vision" super-white 9006 6500K. These are the ones off of EBAY. Anybody have them? The bulb casing is blue, is the beam gonna show up that color? Also, if i want good color matching on hi and low beams, am I gonna have to get a 2 new sets of bulbs? I dont want some nice white beams and nasty yellow highbeams.
