Default annoying little bulb

i just recently bought hyper white silverstar bulbs, and noticed there was a little bulbs next to the low beam bulb. it's still yellow, and it takes away from the white-ness of my new bulbs. does this serve any special purpose? i'm about to take this thing* out and remove the yellow-ness.

haha i like how they change curse words to "biscuit"

its a Parking / Accent light, you can just take them out, or replace them with like a Blue, or Hyper White LED.....

I also have the Silverstar Lights, Hi/low Beam. I don't think you can notice the little light at the bottom when the headlights are own because they are over powered by the headlights. I couldnt tell standing in front of the car. So i just left them stock. Good luck trying to get them out though...they are quite the little buggers.

the easiest way is to remove the low beam bulb harness and squeeze you middle and pointer finger down there, I'm not a small guy (6'2) and it was easy for me.

They are not THAT hard to get out... BTW They are 5W5 Wedge Bulbs... I just disabled mine by leaving the bulb in and clipping the little wire piece on the bulb so they don't light up...

I have DDE's, so getting a matching light was a pain... don't need them anyways..

I did as well, but I t-tapped them in, so I could still have my city lights on as well... If I got 6000k bulbs, they'd match... just didn't worry about it.

Where'd you get 'em...

That'd be a better solution that not using my W5W bulbs at all...

Plus... One more Non-DOT item on my car! YIPPEE!
