Where can I get LED Parking Bulbs for the Z?
Bought some of ares LED bulbs last year and they look great since they burn the same color light as the headlights instead of yellowish.
Only problem is ares website looks like he's no longer doing the LED bulbs and I have not been able to reach him via email. I now need two more sets (one bulb burned out or was damage during a recent headlight modification and I want a set to go behind the reflector strip).
Anyone have a source for these?

The Bright Whites are a white/blue shade - match great with the headlights. Hope this helps.... Jack

More questions... (BTW, thanks for the link)
Are these bulbs same wattage rating as normal bulbs? I don't want to run hotter bulbs under the reflector strip.
Also, any thoughts on which variety is best (opaque, focused, etc). I'm leaning the opaque or the inverted. Not looking of a pinpoint beam of light, just a normal light that matches the headlight color.

Thanks for the info guys. Ordered two types yesterday. Don't remember which ones, but they were not the opaques, they were the ones with 100 degree illumination arc. Ordered a single set of the Matrix LEDs. Will use whichever looks best
Only using them for parking bulbs and reflector strip bulb so the turn signal thing should not be a problem.
Thanks!
