Default parking headlights

Hi what bulb you guys used to have a super white or cool white effect for the parking headlights. (the little small bulb ) I was using a 6 led wedge bulb for each...and well they burned out or blink constantly.

I'd throw some PIAA bulbs in there. They are pricey, but they last and they look great too.

I have them in green...

I paid a little more than what they are now. Maybe I'll have to buy another set? Hmm...

The ones which can be used in headlight housings are the ones with heatsinks.

Go here: http://autolumination.com/194.htm and scroll down to "194 168 W5W 2825 Superstar Bulbs With Metal Heat Sink". I have 6 of these at different locations in my car, and they are awesome. I tried the blue and the white. The blue is a bit on the illegal side, so I am using super white for my headlight accents and corner markers. They are not affected by heat or by long running periods at all.
