Default Front parking light

Has anyone changed out their front parking light (the smallest wedge bulb, next to the high beam bulb) to a different colour like yellow? I'm thinking of doing this but would like to see some pics of others if they have already done so. Thanks!

that looks good man, but does it produce white light or somewhat bluish lighting? It might be due to the angle of the picture taken or the setup of your camera, so I was just wondering.

Do you have a headon shot of that with just the parking lights on? thanks.

I'd appreciate it if someone replaced their's with yellow and posted pics cause I think that would look pretty sweet.

I dont have any yellow LEDs on hand or Id put one together real quick for you to show. I make LED parking bulbs and yellow is available. not sure if piaa offers yellow or not. I thought they only had blue and white.

cameras always pick up white as blue, just like HIDs.

doesn't matter if it's LED or not, actually I think I'd prefer the parking light to be a regular bulb but thanks for your generosity of showing me if you had the yellow LEDs

yup piaa has the smallest wedge bulb in ion yellow but I just wanted to see some pics first if anyone has them on their cars.

not what you asked but theres a guy on clubsi with a black 350Z, TT and he has yellow HIDs... looks... wierd but not in a bad way. they are like 2000k or something, and yes it was on purpose.

so your idea might look pretty good.

got a link ARES??

yeah i think it'll look pretty sweet with just the ion yellow parking lights turned on but I'm not sure how it'll look when the HIDs are turned on with the ion yellow parking light.

actually it seems the thread the photos he posted were in was purged. that sucks. it looked different. but with a yellow parking light bulb Id imagine it would just make the headlights look more like halogen. his were clearly not halogen, very clearly yellow.
