Replacing the "park light" ?
well, i've had HIDs 6000k on high and low beam.
what bothers me is the light in the middle. is still a regular light.
is it anything i can replace it with? to make it as white as the HID's?

Is this a euro model thing? My F4i doesn't have a light in the center...
If you figure out the bulb size, you can just find a white LED bulb in that size - it will have a nice hyper white color similar to 6000k HIDs.

Yes this is a eruo model. its called FS instead of F4i. just the same but a "few" law changes.
like the park light in the center.
is there any website where i can buy led bulbs with a similar socket to the normal bulbs?

http://www.superbrightleds.com has a lot of LED bulbs. Gotta be something there that works. I know they're US based, though, not sure how much that will affect you.

Euros have a parking lamp in the middle? Thats kinda cool, can you legally change the color of the light to match the bike? That would be nifteh. Wonder if we can buy a euro assembly and use it in our f4i's here. Got any pics of what it looks like?

Yes, we do have the third parking light in the middle. Also, the FS has more than just a few "law" changes. It is slightly more tuned; revs a bit higher, double-valve springs etc. and some frame stiffeneing. The FS was replaced by the RR later on.
To shed some light on the europen model history:
"As for model/year/generation designation.
Pre 2001 all CBR600F's were designated a letter in chronological descending order;
2000 FY (4th generation CBR6F hence F4, last of the carbed bikes)
1999 FX (as above...1st of the F4's)
1998 FW (last of the 3rd generation CBR6F hence F3...last of this generation, no physical difference from all previous F3's bar paint scheme)
1995 FS (last of the 2nd generation CBR6F's....I think, not sure on the year exactly and I'm ready to be corrected...hence F2)
From 2001 onwards year of manufacture was designated by a number, also the range was split in 2 with the introduction of the F Sport;
2001 F1, FS1 (first of the F4 fuel injected bikes)
2002 F2, FS2
2003 F3, FS3...(Sport discontinued...RR introduced CBR600RR3)
2004 CBR600F4, CBR600RR4
2005 F5, RR5
2006 F6 ( CBR600F discontinued this year) RR6
2007 RR7
2008 RR8"
