Yeah I know they are just so expensive and I've never had a problem with led bulbs from eBay

Yup not only do they suck, but one fell out of the socket and into the lens! I couldn't find a small enough magnet and couldn't get anything sticky to pull it out of there so I had to pull my bumper and headlight assembly to get it out! What a headache for a BULB.
Thus the saying: don't fix what ain't broken.
Are you really posting this I'm the modifications thread. Thank you very much for your input.

So much effort just for some silly bulbs.

Well don't worry. I've got the white ones in now and they look great. Was it worth it? Hell yeah. I want my car to look a certain way, and I've accomplished that

P.s, if your post was to help "people in the future learn.." Then you didn't do a very good job. My post explained the problems I came across, which warned people of the risks just fine. Your comment was petty, and served no real propose. Thanks for trying to help people though

www.superbrightleds.com

this guys are superb. they sell good leds and ship fast. try them. highly recommend.

for parking light, warm white led(3500~4500k) is the perfect fit. cold white led(6500k) or white led (5500~6000k) are also fine.

I had white ones, but hated that they would not match the HIDs after the bulbs warmed up so I went back to amber. Does yours match now? Or is it still a bit off?

Someone recommended them to me after I ordered the bulbs. I will have to try them next time I need some bulbs. Only heard good things.

I believe they match very well, but now that you mention it I'm gonna look very close and probably find a discrepancy.
