Default Will these parking lights work/look good??

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p6985865.html

I just purchased these parking lights from V-Leds.com, i did a huge search and the exact ones that everyone else seems to have they are sold out of, but i ran across these which i think are the same thing or close to it. They were only 10 bucks so i got them, now onto changing out the DRL's , anyone get a cheaper price on converting the DRL's over to LEDS better than $80??

Why do you want to lose your high beams?

if he were to use LED for DRLs, if he has stock bi-xenon, they'll suffice as high beams anyways..i would have recommend these for parking:

more LEDs but they are a lot more exp than what you have ordered...i have the 26 SMT but I think they discontinued that one

LED parking lights will not make you loose your high beams, our DRLs are our Highbeams, parking lights are the little things in the corner next to the DRLs/Highbeams.

Yes they will work, also i think they'll look good. i've gotten a bunch of different ones from V-Leds just checking them out. i noticed the high powered ones tend to burn out too =\.

these light outputs will be nothing, it just looks good from looking at it head on instead of amber. you might seem a couple dots on a wall right in front of you, say when you pull up to parking spot, but otherwise there is no output. don't expect any light on the road

if you only plug in one, yes it will appear only alittle less yellow, once both are plugged in... you'll only be able to tell parking side by side at a meet... it will still be ugly yellow, your best bet is to ask the stealership to turn off your drl.

i ended up going with 2500k luminics in my drl's. i figure if i can't get rid of the yellow, i might as well go yellow as hell
