I want to find some nice bulb that I can replace my parking light in the front headlights. This is on 2002 SE.
Does PIAA have anything?

Thanks.

Hey Emax,

Hrey Emax,
What wattage and PIAA bulb number did you get for you parking light? I looked at it says that the stock ones are 5W.


Thanks.

i used to have LED bulbs in there and they are so bright
they are even brighter than the hid's but hey burn out fast......
and i never like the normal bulbs cuz they look too cheap and dim
but now i have something else in there....
believe it or not
putting a yellow bulb there makes the hid's look really nice
try it if you have time if you dont like it then dont do it
just my opinion...

Yeah I had these new 4LED 194 bulb, and one of the 4 leds burned out and it made the rest of the 3 strobe.

Long story short, I got pulled over for trying to impersonator a cop with strobes which i never knew i had.

I have some $2 pair of blue 194 bulbs from Autozone.

They worked great in the step lights on my doors, but in the headlamps they look less blue and more dingy amber in color.

I was going to try some of these LEDs:

Now I wonder if they are going to burn out as fast as you guys are saying. For $10/pr. I might try them though.
