The blue 6-LEDs aren't that noticable when the headlights are on and they're useless as parking lights... but they look pretty nice!

Get the PIAA Plasma Blue bulbs, probably 100x brighter than the LED arrays. Seriously, you can get 192.168 wedge bulbs in every color under the sun, I don't know why LED's became os popular.

what type of bulbs can i use to replace the parking lights?
is there anything similar to the silverstar ultras? or do they all have to be yellow.

when I got my LEDs, I happened to read the warranty and it said that LEDs (or atleast that particular one) were not designed to be under a lot of heat i.e. not to put them in the headlight housing. So if they burn out quick that must be why. I've had mine in for about two months and they look sweet. So don't complain if they go out caused they do warn you.

if you have the 08 headlights the leds are gonna last longer cuz they have their own projector so its not as hot as the 05-07 headlights where the parking lights are in the same housing area as the low beams

wow this thread doesnt like staying down lol. But I guess its better than starting a new one. I think when they say to look through the headlght I bet its so u can see in which direction u have to turn the bulb in order for u to put the part the part that locks it in over the gap that when pulled on should pop right out. I just guessed which way I had to turn it and took it out that way
