Where should I get these LEDs? Any 194 will work right?

I just bought some black headlights for my 2003 sedan and to my disgust, when the black ones arrived, I noticed they have a city light while my 2003 headlights don't. I probably don't even have a wiring connection for a city light.
As a matter of fact, I don't even know what city lights are for, but my guess is that the government got involved somewhere. Are they supposed to be a daytime running light or what? How are they supposed to work and what do they do?

They are not DRLs in the US, maybe Canada. You can turn them on/off but not independently. I am not sure about the sedan, but the coupe uses the same wiring for the city light as the strip.
Oh and I tried those LEDs from autolumination and they were too blue for my taste, I just have amber bulbs now.

^^which color? I just ordered two matrix oval superwhite leds for the city lights and two inverted led superwhites for the clear corners...im hoping to avoid the bright center in the clear corners by getting inverted leds. im counting on them reflecting off the housing and creating an equal amount of light all over...i'll let everyone know what happens when i get them..WITH pictures

Autolumination doesn't have any yellow LEDs, only amber. I'm not sure if the amber will give the look that I'm going for =\.

wait, they will run too hot? isn't everyone in this whole thread talking about running the LEDs in their city lights? Has anyone actually had a problem of them running too hot?...

I have had my LED's in the City Lights for almost 3 months now w/ no problems at all... I have no problem changing them out every 4-6 months if that is all they last... I love the effect they give

does anyone know the color of the wires that connect to the city light? There is a wire harness that goes to the light, I figure if I cut the wires they wont light up. Has anyone tried that?
