is there something you would recommend for reverse lights that would light up well in the rearview as well as a nice look from the outside?

The line item I ordered from VLEDS in May 2010 had the following description on the receipt:

SKU: 921_19_HP_W
Description: V-LEDS HID WHITE 19 M-SMT 8W HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923

They are bright in the rear view and look great on the outside. There is only 1 catch which is because they are whiter than the stock ones, the camera image will look like the white balance is a little off. However the visibility is superb and they look really sharp.

Reason I ask is because obviously I use the camera when reversing and I have dark tints so if the quality is really bad on the camera then I may have to go with something else.....tell me what ya think in my situation

Hey guys what is the part # for the parking lights?

Im thinking of changing mine to an amber LED.

Which one of these would fit?

PS what I got out of this thread so far is that if i change parking light, DRL and Highbeam will not be affected at all??

The parking light is a 194 bulb. I don't think those are 194 bulbs. You want to look here.

Im contemplating of switching my 5k 2W bulbs for these 6k 8W bulbs, but how do they perform in the day time when it's real sunny out?

For fog lights look up the XenonDepot HID kits at the same link above. I have the Xtreme 3000K in my fogs.

I'm very happy with both of these so far.
Quickk question for you...Is the link for that Parking light (small bulb) is that just a bulb I can replace my Yellow oem bulb with??
