Since replacing the H11 (low beams) with the 6K HID kit, the parking lights (next to the front turn signal lights) appear dull and yellowish. Has anyone replaced these wedge bulbs (# 168) with performance bulbs? The parking lights in some of the pictures I've seen posted appear bright white unlike the stock ones. Also, is it easy to access these bulbs to replace?

I bought the Piaa super white LED!! That works prefect on my parking light and running boards!! Check these out!!!

Hey David
How much did you pay for these PIAA Lights for running board and Parking light? And whats the bulb called? i know its wedge.. but which #. thanks by the way they look sharp. Nice Choice
Adil

Our Parking lights are #168, and the running boards are #192. They are all same type of bulbd for our GX, you just need three packs of the Piaa Super (White) LEDs to light up up your car!!
Choices are Blue, Blue/White, and White, it's all up to you!!
Check here... http://www.piaa.com/LEDs/LEDs.html

I got it for $18 each pack!!

LED works better because it produces brighter light than regular wedge bulbs. It requries only 0.24W electircity; however, other need 5W. Plus last longer!! Just compare that.... you're better off with the LED.

hey, david i know this is off topic.. but when i was installing my fog lights i accidently started unscrewing the alignment screw so now i dont know how to align em...
i'll have to wait til night fall

DavidsGX

mmm.... this didn't happen to me, but let me see what I can do about it.

DavidsGX

Is that what you did there?? If so, I think you just need to park your GX in a horizontal level, against a wall. Go under the bumper and try to balance it out. That might the only way to do...

By the way, when you change you foglight, you don't need a screw.

Kash

yea, thats what i turned by accident.. i'm gonna level it later tonight.. cya dont u havent to loosen the gold clip inside to take out the foglight?

sayadil

David you dint mention how much you paid for the bulbs... anyway i think i like the white ones ... the same one you have.... Really nice.
David i'm also doing some modification to my GX in 2 weeks.... will post pics once i'm done... Some Nice modifications... Just have to wait to see it.!!

sayadil

David... is parking lights 194 or 192... coz i called canadian tire and they told me its 168/194 Piaa . please confirm it with me before i order them. thanks

So the super PIAA LED wedge bulbs would be better than the PIAA superplasma 12V 5W wedge (price seems comparable)? Again, are the parking lights easy to change?

DavidsGX

Kash, no screw is needed in changing foglight, just remove the circle plastic and you will see a bulb inside, then press the golden clip, the bulb is out!! Try it~!

Adil, sorry, it was a mistake. Correction: the running board light bulb is #194. But the LEDs will fit #168,#194 types anyway. I got it for about $18 each. It's kind of expensive than wedge bulbs, but it works better. you can search in google, there is a great deal of bargain stuffs!!

strat1, I attached these pictures - Polarg Wedge bulbs. Personally, I don't think it's as white as the LEDs. Although the wedge bulbs are about 3 times cheaper, but they look yellowish/purplish white.

Hey

David ... i got 3 sets of them for 40... off ebay.. so thats good... you know david.. one bulb i really wanna change is the Reverse light bulb... i think they don't lightup good during backup... specially on a rainy day...
Do you know what # bulb is required for the Reverse Light. Thanks....

DavidsGX

Got a great deal, Adil!! Also, It's gonna look real good on you GX.
About the reverse light, unfortunatly, Piaa doesn't make any LED for that, only wedge bulbs.
And that type of bulb is #7440. Or here... Great deal of information... http://www.sylvania.com/bin/carApp/c...X470&x=33&y=10
