any suggestions on white parking lights?
Anyone try replacing the stock orange parking lights 168/192 wedge bulbs with some white ones? I know the LED ones dont work. So I think most are 10 watts, which they say is toooo hot for the housing. Anyone have recommendations and pictures of what they have used?

If I am not mistaken I think the bulb on our parking light is 2825 or many people refer to 194.

If regular led is out of the question what about some high power led or even luxeon?

I have this thread may here:
