Another tip is the parking light plugs are the 1/4 twist type. Reach up and a slight twist counterclockwise unseals them and allows for easy removal. Then you can easily remove the bulbs and replace them in the socket before reinstallation.

I didnt see the part where you said whitish my bad. I thought you were just throwing in blue bulbs.

Clear side markers are probably used by more than half of the people in this forum. Ive seen more clear,tinted or blacked out side markers than the stock orange ones. My bad if i offended anyone.

Not rice at all...
People throw the word rice around too much



I have red led clusters in my parking light locations. Nobody think's it's rice. Sure as hell looks nicer than regular 168 yellow/white bulbs.

+1 LED's are worth the money, better color and last much longer.

Hey thanks! It makes children cry...

I gots teh Silverstone ... hence my name

I thought about blue, but the color theme for my last car was blue. The car was white. So I thought hey, red looks good with silver.

I think also, the red flows better with the orange side markers.

If I had clear sidemarkers I'd get all blue or somethin. Or HID White.
