I think these bulbs have the correct mount for the G35 clear corner and clearance marker. Can anyone confirm: they list 194, 168, 158 as the compatible mounting types.

I got the bulbs. Installed the clear corners and under-door bulbs. Still need to figure out how to do clearance marker. Trying to go from wheel well with wheels on seems difficult cause two screws hold the plastic wheel well housing on - need a really short phillips to get to it with wheel on.

The bulbs are definitely whiter (all are Xenon bulbs, the 194s are chrome plated) but don't seem that bright (have not tried at night yet). Only a few $ (unlike PIAA) so not much wasted if too dim. Will post pics tonight if I can figure out the clearance marker today.

OMG.

What a waste. The bulbs look white initially but they fade back to yellow! The chrome paint burns off or something. Ha - unbelievable. Stay away from the Pilot Chrome White 194 bulbs. Weak output + yellow color. Just great.

I did learn how to change the clearance marker bulb in just a few mins time though. Here is a nice tip: the push tabs are removed by using a thin flat head screwdriver and pull out the central disk. The push tab then just falls out. I forced one out after 30 mins of effort before realizing how it worked.

Next time PIAA bulbs - not worth the few dollars savings...
