Default LED parking light questions

Hey everyone, my lights currently look like this:


But i want to change my parking lights to a white LED, I was wondering what kind of bulb to use for this, or any recommended bulbs (links?) Also I was wondering if this is legal in california. Thanks!

Edit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Canbus...#ht_4993wt_959

is that the right type?

The bulb is a 194 WLED. Yes white is legal I ordered all my LED bulbs at superbrightleds.com except my front parking lights (was before I knew about about superbright.) but I have the PIAA high intensity led bulbs for my parking lights. They look kind of blue but they go well with my led strips and hid kit. Sorry this a late response I hope it helps

Superbrightleds.com if you have 6000k hids theb go with the cool white parking light and it matches perfect.

This is an embarrassingly noob question, but how do I remove the parking light bulb? I reached around blindly and am pretty sure I'm tugging at/twisting the right thing, but it's too tight and I can't get a proper grip on it. I also pulled something which I believe was just a heatshrink-type tubing protecting the socket (no clue, I can't see it). This is for the driver side, I don't even know where to begin on the passenger side with the windshield wiper fluid thing in the way.

Is it best to remove the light assembly completely? How would I go about doing that?

It's right under The high beam bulb. It's really easy to find just feel for it or use a flashlight and mirror or record a video

Once I removed the turn signal bulb and pushed the thing I pulled back into place I was able to get enough leverage. On the passenger side, the washer fluid thing swivels out of the way. Looks so much nicer with white LEDs instead of the orange parking bulbs.
