Default Parking Lights

Does anyone know where to get bulbs for the front parking lights? I believe the size is 168. I'm looking for some that have a clear housing like stock, but illuminate a brighter white or maybe blue. Looking to get rid of that yellowish tint effect that they have on the stock HIDs.

I got some from www.superlumination.com Pretty decent quality, but takes 10-12 days to get from AZ to KY. I went with the 5 led configuration in superwhite - has a slight blue/white color to it - looks great! The same 168's work in the license plates lights. I also got their 9 led festoon bulbs (1 3/4") for the map lights & their 15 led reverse lights (7440's). Hope this helps.......

Confused on the size, I thought it was a 168 bulb but I think PIAA and super lumination have them listed as 194. Is that the right one?

Yeah, 194 is the right one... both fit, and if i'm not mistaken they're the same size. Don't kno why there's two diff names for it.

I also got some white 5-led bulbs from superlumination.com

Thanks, how do you like them? I was also looking to replace the ones behind the headlight reflector strip. Those are the same size right?

They're not too bad, matches the stock hid's so much better than the ugly yellow ones before. But i am not sure about the ones behind the amber strip, i didn't bother replacing those on mine.

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. I was going to get the ones behind the reflector strip just in case I found some clear strips. That is if I find come clear strips.

Do the 194 5LED Matrix Bulbs work for the turn signal and parking light?

The 194 bulb is for the tiny lil parking light (beside the highbeam bulb). The turn signal bulbs are bigger/different. They're 7440 (front and rear signal bulbs are same size).

You can also get the exact same bulbs on ebay (I believe its Velocity LEDs, probably the same vendor) for about half price. I have used them before and am very happy!
