Default white parking lights

where can i purchase white parking lights? these are the ones that are an inch away from the low beams. these bulbs are giving a yellowish color to my luminic UV bulbs.

Just find a bulb that is size #194... someone might be able to recommend something specific, but you can likely find something just at Autozone or something.

Heres some results i came up with.

http://www.xenonvalot.com/ledwedgebulb.html
the above is in europe so im sure shiping would be pricy, but they do have blue versions of these lights, i wonder... what would blue look like behind that yellow glass, probably crappy? yeah?

http://store.racinglab.com/piaa1.html
heres a place in CA. Blue and White.

Lab above seems to have found cheaper ones, good job!

no, the bulbs melt the led housing if they headlamps get too hot. some people have said that their led's have melted. others have had no problems at all. if you put in led's for that spot, you should probably keep an eye on them.

if your low beams run too hot, then you'll need to get incandescent bulbs instead. if you're looking for super white incandescnets for the parking lights (194 bulbs), look here: http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIA19168

LEDs should actually be cooler than the stock bulbs. They use less power and burn cooler (like they have LED christmas lights that are less of a fire hazard b/c they don't get so hot).

i heard that LED's are cooler as well. and since i have Lumanics installed as headlights, and people have been talking about them melting things, im going to have to research with is a hotter bulb to reduce the risk of melting.

i think the only thing you heard is that if your lowbeams get too hot they could melt the bases of the LED's, but i havent had that problem and i've had them for a few months.

I went with raybrig R130's. They are a 194 with a super white look that match my hyper white lumincs perfectly. They are $12 a pair here http://store.racinglab.com/raywedbulpla1.html

I'm looking at some of these LED bulbs from http://autolumination.com and was wondering if anyone has them and how they work. I have the luminics pure blues and the stock bulb gives them a yellowish glow that offsets the blue too much. I wanted to go with a blue bulb to go there, but i dont know how the LEDs will work and if they are going to fit ok...
