Will these work for parking/city light replacements (06 coupe)?

They'll fit the socket, but I don't think they'll fit through the hole.

Anyone know where I can find a good LED for the parking light on a 06 coupe? I've found loads of 168's on eBay, but unsure if they will fit in the headlight hole like calvin mentioned.

wont fit. tried them before.
I forgot where I got my led city lights.. but they are fairly bright, same with my license plate and sidemarker lights. They shine pure white too, not that blue/white look.

They seem pretty close to the Halo ones being sold here on the forums as Parking lights.

From the specs link below it looks like the ones you are using are 14mm in width. If those fit through the hole, then I assume the original ones would too since they are only 11.5 mm at most. So I'll look for some a bit shorter. You are using 06+ coupe headlights right?
