Yes. There is a seller on ebay that sells hyper white bulbs for the whole car for like $30. It makes all you bulbs match the hid color and looks very clean and nice. I did it on my last Z and still need to on my current one.

I had installed the hyperwhite parking light LED. The result was a nice looking light however, it didn't illuminate the road like the stock bulb. I switched back because I like the stock light for creeping out of my driveway at night or early morning and not blinding my neighbors in their Livingroom.

Also, I left the stock reverse lights in there because the LED's that I got for the backup lights (suggested by other members) weren't bright enough either.

My question is why you're worry about the parking light lighting up the road?

For the turn signal bulbs just search E-Bay for: Chrome 7440
