Parking or Standing Light Bulb Options?
I recently replaced my standard halogen H7 light bulbs over to Sylvania Silver Star ZXE which has helped some, but the yellow glow from the parking light (small bulb right under the high beam bulb) diminishes the effect of the ZXE bulb. Does anyone know of a blue (HD like) bulb that I could replace it with? Bulb size is: W5WBV. So far no luck finding anything online.

I just replaced my H7 bulbs with the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras and also didn't like the way the OEM parking bulbs looked. I wanted to replace the parking bulbs with Ultras but was told they only make the size in the Silverstars.
So I replaced the OEM parking bulbs with Sylvania Silverstar #2825 bulbs. Just so you know, even though they may appear blue, when they are on they are white and look much better than the OEM's.

It is not difficult to replace the bulbs.
There is an access panel in the front wheel wells / wheel arches that makes replacing the bulbs easy. Just make sure you wear gloves and not touch the bulbs with bare hands because if any oils or dirt from you hands get on he bulbs it could cause them to prematurely burn out.
See pages 115-117 of the 2012 owners manual and good luck.
