they are LED bulbs with a 120 viewing angle, they wont look very good at all, the glare reducer will block them almost completly, I've tried. on the plus side those will fit in your Tag light as well.

I changed mine to led bulbs.... it looks much brighter... the output colour is a bluish white... it's better than the ordinary white bulbs... tried 4 kind of bulbs and think led does look a lot better than the whole lot....ordinary white bulbs tend to look bit of yellowish white....

They may look fine, but like was already mentioned, those LEDs are only going to shine straight out of the glare limiter cone thingy. They really wont be putting any light back on the reflector at all. I guess the only way to know is give 'em a try. I'm VERY happy with the results I got from the PIAA Extreme White bulbs (they aren't an LED).

Thread from the dead. Matt_a or any xA owner for that matter with different front parking light bulbs installed, think you can post pics with them on? I'm not sure if I wanna put in ultra whites in the parking lights or perhaps something with a little more blue.

They are the 5 LED WLED-X5 from http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

Get some extra, I alredy had one that one of the LEDs would shake like a wet dog. Just didn't hold up to the vibration, I guess.

Thanks for the props, yall.

Does anyones look like the bulb isnt pushed all the way out? I looked at mine and it almost seems like the stock bulb isnt long enough.

Well, yes and no. The 04-05 parking lights are 194 wedge bulbs and 06 is a 2825 wedge bulb. They are exactly the same in appearance and are interchangeable. The difference between the two is that the 194 bulb runs at 3 watts and the 2825 bulb runs at 5 watts, this makes the 2825 bulb brighter. If you want to put 194 bulb in your 06(like I have) thats ok, it just won't be as bright. You can read more about the differences here:

Also, if you want to know what all the other bulbs are in the 06 xA, look here:
