White Bulbs?
I'm hoping someone can help me. Does anyone know where I can find white/LED bulbs for this bulb. It doesn't even have to be LED really, this yellow bulb just looks so bad next to the HID.

I replaced mine with a resistor and LED. AZNOptics, found on this forum, sells LEDs with resistors built in so you shouldn't have the light out error issue. I'd send him a message and go from there.
Yes the existing bulbs are really ugly!

These have a very nice color and actually are Error Free!
You may want to place an order for double what you need due to quality issues. Most work perfectly, but 1 out 4 begin to flicker after about a week of use and eventually fail or will just stop working within 6 months. Last time one failed I got a message like the failure of an incandescent lamp. Replacement takes about 2 minutes. The set in my car now have been in for a year and are working fine.
P.S.: this EBAY ad is in no way related to me - its where you can find the lights:

Ive had really bad luck with these wedge LEDs. They last about 6 months (maybe). Im on my second set now. I had the v3 at first and the pair died at around the same time. They were replaced with the v2. Right out the box one of the LEDs started flickering. Not its dead. The other LEDs on that bulb are okay though... for now.
Wish I could find a good quality set. I dont mind spending a little more for quality... but it seems no one is making a good set.
