Default Cool little LED parking lamp lights

https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=6318885&cc=1316113&jsn=3

My dimly lit parking lights (the small inner lights, same housing as brights) burned out, so I replaced them with these cool LED lights. Much brighter and should last as long as I have the car. Otherwise, I see no purpose for these things. Looks like they could be used elsewhere too.

Like so? I replaced mine with Sylvania Zevo LEDs. Looks much better. You can see how much brighter they are than wimpy incandescents.

If only they didn't upload upside down...

194 is the size for a lot of the interior lamps as well as the reverse gear lights and the license plate lamps

what's the difference between 194 and 168? They look the same, and packages even say they're cross compatible.

Ya I got these ones on the way for my reverse lights. We'll see how they do.

Wattage.


Which is irrelevant for LEDs, since they consume a negligible amount of power.

Makes sense. I assume the 194s are the higher wattage?

I'd highly recommend these for the reverse lights, they're very bright and actually provide useable backup light with the projector. I have them in the city lights in the high beam housing as well

168 is the higher wattage. 4.9W to the 194's 3.8W.
