Parking Light

Ok guys our parking light is listed as bulb #2827. I remember on my 04 Sedan, the parking light didn't compliment the HIDs so most of us change them to a whiter one (PIAA for me). I saw 2827 on ebay listed with 168/194. My question is what does this 2827 bulb look like? Is it the same wedge size as 168/194, and have any of you changed urs? Thanks

i tired a 194 from vleds right now actually, no luck! it was a little to wide to slot right in, didn't want to force it! but they are very very similar.

any one else chime in on this as im also trying to color match the the parking light with the stock hids

thanks!

i got some 168/194 wedge leds from ebay, one died after a few months while the other one has been going strong for over a year now, thats the only downside to cheaper leds.

I got 168/194 Leds from V-leds and they worked perfectly. just make sure you buy high power ones, as the cheaper ones will burn out in a few seconds when plugged in

These These
are the ones I purchased 3 months ago and they haven't burned out yet. They are while but the stock HIDs are on the yellow end of the spectrum so not a perfect much (parking lights appear bluer compared to HIDs) but it still looks very nice. Do not buy similar at Idmjtoy - their LEDs tend to be temperature sensitive and burn out constantly.

^ I just bought 2 sets (1) LED and (1) Super White Plus from PIAA. I had the PIAA before in my 04 Sedan and they complimented the HIDs well. LEDs will be tood bright/white but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I have other applications i could use them in if I dont like how they look
