Default Little help on lighting ,,,please!

Just changed out my stock non HID bulbs.
Did the headlights,highs and fogs with MTEC Super White 4300K's.
I screwed up not getting parking light bulbs.I didn't think about it.There yellow as hell especially now against the super whites..

HELP!!!!!
What Super White 194 bulb is available?
Also in looking at changing them seem to be difficult.Can't seem to get to them when I get the recommended upgrade bulbs.
Can anyone give me some info on change them?

I have Polarg M4 on mine, but it's 2 blue for me. I just got the smt 9-led and ordered the high power led from ebay. Hope i get it this week so I can try both at the same time. After taking the cover off, there's a metal wire holding the the housing with a screw over it. It's a pain in the a$$ to unscrew it because there's no room to put a normal size screw driver in it, but you'll have to find a way to unscrew it, then take the housing off. try the passenger side first, it's easier. On the driver side, you'll have to pull out the windshield fluid holes.

you don't need to take the screw of all you do is pull the wire back and should give you accesses to the housing with no problem just changed the city lights last weekend and it is true on the washer bottle neck removal makes much easier..........hope this helps

Thanks,guys.
I have MTEC Super Whites.
I don't know if the Polarg M4 or the Polarg G54 would match up better.
I don't think MTEC makes 168 type bulbs.

The passenger side fog bulb replacement was prety tough.

I used the MTEC hyper white 194 bulbs. They match the 4300K other lights very well.

Aren't LED's very bright?
I'd like the parking(city) light to be less bright.
