Default GS300 Parking Light

Guy's the little wedge bulb in the housing where hi-beam is located is referred to as the parking light, right? I read on the other threads that the parking light is a 2825 wedge bulb. But I also read some members use a 194 bulb for the parking light, so I can use a 194 for my parking light?

Im going to buy some led 5k but i not sure if I need to look for 194 or 2825.

Thanks.

thanks mr3gs300 and yes it is! LOL! Now that I know what I need Its amazing the selection that's out there! I know I want a 5k led, but not sure who to get it from. What LED bulb have others used in the parking light to match the OEM head light bulb?

I did find one from v-led but its back ordered and they can't tell me until when. Superbright led did't have anything I thought would work. Vision tech, not sure about either. I also found a pair from PIAA, but they want $45.

Decisions, decisions! LOL!

mine are from polarg. i bought them from a store called "fizz autosports" in bayside, queens before they moved somewhere else. $30 for a pair though so they weren't cheap.

2008 GS350.. Hello all... these parking lights in the hi beam area arent working. so i replaced them today. however, they are still not working... the side marker lights are. head lights, brights and hazards are. but just the two 194 wedge bulbs are not... would anyone know were a fuse would be for those particular bulbs ?? or is there another reason ??

If there led they might need a resistor

Thank you for your prompt reply. I did get it to work. I don't know how though. I pulled the fuse, It was good. Then replaced it. Then the lights started to work.

How did the spades on the fuse look? Any oxidation?

They looked pretty clean . No signs of corrosion. Looked like they were just taken out the box
