Default LED Replacement for parklights

Well I just finished install my wifes hid's last night and I guess I never realized theres a park light bulb that is on the middle section where the high beam is that stays illuminated. I was wondering if anybody could tell me where I might find a replacement for this that matches an 8k hid? Also what size bulb's are these supposed to be?

ps pardon the car and my camera being dirty.

Make sure they don't melt. Mine died pretty quick.

... you have an old car.

newer '08 headlights have it in the high beam housing, seperate from the low beam. there won't be heat issues.

melting from crappy, low quality bulbs on the other hand are something completely different and a separate issue.

Are there any problems known with this brand burning out or melting any of the inner plastic?

Sounded from his post like he was referring to my car not the poster above him. Didn't see a quote...
