The parking lights are already amber ...would them being "LED" really make a difference?

no pictures, but yes it does work. though Ive never done it with yellow Ive seen it with blue, red, and cyan. they all tint the housing, though of course the projected light on the street remains white.

I think he's talking about the tiny bulb sticking out in the high beams section (i've seen them referred to as city lights too).

be careful what LEDs you put in. I put LEDs and the glue oozed out onto my reflector b/c of the heat from the headlights

Bah! I never even thought about checking for that till i read your post. Looks like a bit dripped in my driver's side, but nothing on the other side. It doesn't bug me as much as i thought it would though... did you end up taking out the led or leaving it? Ever think of cleaning it?

I took them out and threw the POS away
I don't think its worth cleaning b/c the reflector is a thin film and I think you would screw things up more if you messed around in there.
