Autozone and advance auto sells p194 led amber bulbs. I have them in my car and like the look. The white stock bulb just looked like a poorly design running lamps.

I was in PEP Boys and picked up some white LED 194 bulbs, put them behind the clear lenses and now I am not ashamed to turn on my lights!

I installed the 5 LED WLED bulbs and they much more asthetically pleasing. I will post pics to show the difference.

You can find yellow all day, it's the white that is hard to come by.......

manny, did you solve the riddle of the side parking lights? i have the same issue, got the sylvania lights, the superbrightleds.com lights parking lights, and now I have embarrassing yellow/white lights on the side of my front bumper.

were the 194 lights from pep boys the answer?

I will try to put up some pics....

Well, after a month of waiting, my LEDs are here...only thing is that now my parking lights are a lot more blue than my sylvania white lights. wtf. I got the WLED x5-LED Wide Angle LED bulb and it's marked as "Cool White". I don't remember ever having to choose either "Cool white" or "Warm White" but apparently you now have the choice according to superbrightleds.com. I'm thinking they barely put this new type of white up on their website and sent me either of the whites. The comparison chart shows the cool white leds being 8000k and the warm white leds being 3300k. If i remember correctly the only choice of white i had was ultra white. Did I get sent the wrong type of white or what? Cuz it doesn't match my headlights. Much more blue. To those who got these leds for their parking lights, what type of white did you guys get and do you remember ever having to choose between "Cool white" or "Warm white"?

I bought them and you are correct they are more blue than white. When I bought mine last month I had the choice of white or OEM Amber. The parking lights are more blue than my headlights but I actually like it that way.
