LED parking light (W 5W) 194

To all who had aftermarket HID light installed,

Does anyone replace the front parking light next to the high beam light with white LED bulb?
Does this LED bulb replacement give bulb out warning?

Thanks,

Thanks,
I use POLARG bulbs for my wife's C-class driving light and it looks hyperwhite but not as bright as LED. Not sure about R-class but her car will flow out a bulb out warning if we use LED bulb.

If you are on budget, you can use this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-Po...mZ320301521356

For $10 more, you can buy 3 more pairs. I have used up all 4 pairs of mine for my wife's C and mine's R.

It is hyper white too and you can see more pictures in the C-class (W204) forum.
