Is there a replacement for the yellowish parking light that would make it whiter and possibly brighter. I believe this would also brighten up the HID's and I just wanted to see what was available. Any ideas?

all you would have to do is buy some aftermarket bulbs and i think you can find the size of the bulbs in the PDF manual. do u have a copy?

 

[studybuddy]

No, I don't. I need to get one.

Do you know of any good brand that will give me a bright, white light instead of blue? I was thinking maybe Sylvania, but has anyone else had a really good experience with a specific aftermarket bulb?

OK, first off, do not buy a conventional bulb. You won't ever wanna take the bulb out to replace it ever again, its that much of a PITA to install.

PIAA makes a twin-LED wedge bulb, that will NEVER burn out. It is more lazer - bright than flood bright (meaning it focusus more energy in a specific direction, rather than smoothing it out over the entire headlight like stock)

They aren't too costly either, but I've had mine in two cars already (yes, the same bulbs) over the span of about 3 years. Both runnin strong :thumbsup:

For reference, which bulb are you refering to Jetpilot? I was looking on their website, but it would help if I knew exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a ton!

Gimme a sec, I'll look it up for ya. Again, I bought em like 3 years ago.. I'm pretty sure any local speed shop will have em or their equivalent.

 

[jetpilot718]

Wow, found em quicker than I thought.. Here ya go


Get the white ones, the white ones actually look HID-color ice blue. The blue ones must look like a smurf's ass!

 

[studybuddy]

Haha! Thanks man. I appreciate it.

 

[studybuddy]

Are those the correct bulbs for the car? I don't have the manual with me, and I want to order them.

I got the ones from this page. I got the 6 LED wedge type which fits perfectly and looks great. Very good prices too.

[studybuddy]

There sure are a lot of LED's on that page Dave...which one did you get?

I'm also looking to replace the lights in the cabin with l.e.d. lights to make them whiter. Any suggestions on that?

 

[dave079]

I got the white 6 LED one, 9th from the bottom

 

[Dissident]

Wow those are way cheaper... They're pretty bright tho? I might use some of those to make signals for my bike...

 

[dave079]

Yeah they are very bright. Cant go wrong for the price

 

[Zxrage]

Are we talking about teh parking light that is underneath the stock amber strip in the headlight? or the reverse lights? Or the angled "fog" lights in teh headlights? Im lost as to which lights you are trying to replace.

Are the parking lights 194s? 168s right?

All you need to do is remove the inner fenderwells and all the lights are accessible through there.
