I just bought some from ebay. I'll take some pics when I get them in the mail. I bought the PIAA Super White 168 for the day light.

i tried them too, the white ones

they arent that good, nowhere near bright enough to use the reflector to disperse the light inside the headlight. All u get is a small dot of light when viewing front on

i bought them off some taiwan based guy on ebay. I also bought these no name brand 6 led wedges from him. They are a nicer white light, alot brighter and uses the reflector to fill the bottom of the headlight with light

id take some pics, but my digicam distorts the color and everything comes out blue, even my xenons which are white/purple look blue

you can see how they have side angled leds, which disperse the light into the reflector

Not too bad if you're patient. You have to jack up the side of the car you're working on so you can get a screw driver in the area to remove the splash guard. Then it's easy. But still a lot of work to change a few bulbs. I'm glad LED's like never burn out.

but isnt the wiring for an LED totally different from a reg bulb? or it just goes right in like that? And those are the parking light bulbs correct?
