They'll probably fit, but I dont think the beam pattern will be good. The clear corner lenses have the bulbs go in at an angle so the light spreads out evenly. But the LEDs will just shoot concentrated light straight out. I think that regular superwhite bulbs are best in the corners.

I have tried using a 194 LED in the little side light and there was no light spread, just a dot in the middle. so I put the S/W back in and it was bootieful.

Yeah the LED light output is gonna suck. It'll just be one small little dot in the middle. That little dot will be nice and bright, but then again, it IS just a little dot. lol

I've actually gone back to amber bulbs in my clear corners. I got tired of the whole hyper white thing and even my Polargs were lookin kinda green.
