You're not gonna find any wedge bulb that'll really "match". Your best bet is to upgrade to LED parking lights (keep in mind, you'll need a load equalizer/stabilizer that you'll need to attach to the wiring).

Thanks a lot Drew, sorry for being a search rebel.

..*sigh again*...if only i didn't spend a good hour trying to find it then also findout...pops n mom tossed it out....

Thing is, you're not really a search "rebel" because you posted a reply in a thread that is related to what you were looking for. IMO, you did the right thing. You didn't flood the board with another "new" thread discussing an old topic. So for that, I give you

As for looking at my signature for pics, many people don't even realize how many pics I have up on the yahoo links in my signature. Were you able to see my setup?

This thread is closed. STFF.

Ask pops n mom if they would be upset if you threw out their things? Then, search this forum on changing city lights.

Thread Closed.

I have been looking for the #2825 parking lights in the super white color or the whitest color I can get, with no luck. Any suggestions?

some of us get the PIAA Extreme white ones, but they not white enought, I bought a set of LEDS and I need a converterrr

Is that supposed to be 'converter grrrrr' or are you trying to change something in regards to voltage properties? (j/k)

same here...bought a set of LEDs and need a converter too...any idea on how to get this and installed?

Autobacs in Orange County sells PIAA incandescent bulbs with a heavy blue glass. They match the Halogen lamps for color quite well, and no wiring changes are needed.

I have the PIAA ones too, I plugged in the LED ones and that once in a while spark of light is the white i want!

jtC230, I looked that the coverter thing on superleds.com, and im just like wtf is going on, i tried reading old threads and remembered drex said something about pigtails in a local auto store and dion doing some crazy wiring... argh i need to really sit down one day, and FIGURE THIS OUT!

Would a error note come up on the dash if I just unplugged the parking lights?

I just do not like the yellowish color once I changed to super white headlight bulbs.

This is a tough one for a bulb so small!

Absolutely no reason to start a new thread on this. No reason an old thread couldn't have been bumped, but I'll engage it anyway:

1) parking lights are w5w (i.e. 194/168) wedge bulbs
2) LED parking lights can work with a load equalizer
- Because the LED bulbs do not draw as much current, when you install a LED 194/168 bulb in there, you'll notice it blinks, but doesn't stay constant. The reason it does this is because it is not drawing the proper current from the bulb to the socket, therefore it blinks as if it is a bad bulb
- Load equalizers/stabilizers can be found for very inexpensive prices. You just have to make sure that you get the right equalizer/stabilizer in order for the LED bulb to work properly.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of DIY and installing LED bulbs, then please do not be a "whiner/complainer" that says how nobody will help you with this (i.e. nobody will spoon feed me and do it for me) or continue to ask the same questions about lighting that have been answered millions of times.

Seriously, one more time for all the NEWBIES and the LAZIES, if you don't know how to DIY and don't want to do the research to LEARN, then DON'T DO IT! Plain and simple.

Now, if you want to go with as close as possible to the "whitest" light output with 194 wedge bulbs, go with PIAA EXTREME WHITE. These are not too "blue", but are as close as you'll get to LED white. This is a simple install (take out the 194 bulb in the headlight housing and install the new one).

drex said it. This puppy is now CLOSED.

Hey LMING,

How did you manage to cut the wire (grey) inside the headlamp? It is impossible to connect the resistor to the cut wire!!! Can you take a picture of your connection? Maybe, did you take off your headlights and do your surgery?

Where did you get your Super Tera? from ebay?

Thanks.

LMing help me out w/ my PIAA super-tera LEDs too...i wasn't able to find it on ebay but there was a link that i got it from...i forgot to save it...but LMing is definitely the person to ask where to get it from





NOTE: you have to make sure you cut the positive wire and not the other one. as you can see..i don't have the OEM headlight so my positive wire is the blue wire. i guess if you have OEM it will be grey.

i have 6000K HID:

Hey JTC320

So, your new wire (+ve) is laying between the cap cover and the headlight right?

How do you manage to splice the connectors to the passenger headlight? It is slmost no space at all!

Do know where is the positive wire outside the back of the head lights? I see there are two plugs (black) connected to the head lights.

I believe most of us would prefer to cut the wires (+ve) outside the lights instead of inside, it will make the job much easier!

Thanks.

i want some Piaa tera leds too hook me up with the link please

i can't find the link to where i got it but LMing is the person you want to go to

Nice photo JTc320


Please click Me to buy the bulb~~ good luck all~

LMing,

Did you cut your grey wire inside the head lights too?

Ya, pull the city light out and cut the wires.... heh
