Parking Lights

I'm sure this has probably been posted time and time again. However, seeing as how search is nonfunctional at the moment; could someone please point me to a blub that would be plug and play for the parking lights that is a more white color (as close to stock HIDs as possible) that will not melt my housing or give me any issues please. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

194 wedge LEDs. There is an abundance of them on eBay and a search with that term plus your desired color will give you more than a sufficient amount of results.

Reach out to Tunermaxima3000. He can sell you some very good quality wedge bulbs, whereas ebay is a gamble regarding quality.

Personally, I think amber LED's look great in the parking lights. It's a nice compliment to the front side-markers and the turn-signals. Here's a picture from an old sig photo:

I have amber in mine as well.

When I searched on superbrightleds.com and looked at the bulb chart it says parking lights are a 168. Will the 194 work in place of the 168? Is a 194 brighter or something?

Glad to help. And AFAIK, 194 and 168 bulbs are the exact same thing.

If you buy from Tuner, be sure to arrange for the extra postage. Standard packages from Canada can sometimes take months to get over the border. Whereas for a couple dollars more, you're sure to get stuff within a week or so.

168-194-T10 are all the same.
