Happy to hear my method worked for you!!
i am running a generic hyper white 921 bulb, same size as M6 it matches up pretty well, would match even better after i throw some 6000k bulbs in

Default Led from autolumination

I contacted them about the park lights and they informed me that although the 906 bulb works it is a higher wattage bulb and it gets much hotter than the 194 so they suggest using the 194 that they sell but of course it is $7.50 more. Sicmonkey u r the man. I love the look. By the way how long have you had your 906 in for? Just curious because I plan on ordering 4-6 bulbs and thats a total savings of $30. if I go the 906 route.

well, i have the 194 from autolumination, doesn't match my 6000k

Autolumination - 194 Oval Leds Bulbs - $2.49 each, I bought the cheapest one on there to test the color



On with my xenondepot 6000k D4S - probably works better with 8000k

The 906/921/M6 is a larger higher wattage bulb, i ran them in my 2GS for years without any issues, and im sure there are alot of other members on here that run them as well.

Some owners have reported burn marks around the light housing with the higher wattage 906 bulb.

I was doing a search on this site a while back when I was deciding what to use for my parking light when I came across a 3GS owners who have use Polarg M6 and had discoloration in the housing due to the heat.
