Default Clean up headlights help

I did a search on this and this is what I came up with. These are what I found to be the best bulbs that won't overheat and discolor.

Blinker bulb replace with either Ares leds or evostyles bulbs

parking lights - hyperwhites ????? #168 What brand????

If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know .

Also is there any that I missed????

Thanks

ares also makes #168 bulbs. They go in the parking lights, license plate lights, and also the bulbs behind the amber strip in the headlights. www.rasecreations.com

i have the piaa wedge bulbs in my headlights. they match up pretty well with the hids (not perfect, but close enough) i got them at a local shop for $20 for the pair.

do you have the pure white PIAA led's or the one white and one blue. I have the white/blue and it is way to blue to match. thinking of switching to the white.

white LEDs match, LEDs are not like light bulbs where they are blue to be white. youll find most white LEDs are already higher in temp than the stock HIDs. definitly dont need blue to help them out.

cameras pick up wavelengths that we dont. which is why HIDs and leds often appear much bluer than they really are.
