Default Inverted Cone Parking Lights (Pics Inside)

so after one year i finally get around to changing out the DRL's. i went with simple, inexpensive inverted cone LED's. the bulb code for n00b's is 194 (as if you haven't read the massive DRL thread).

a note on the photos, the actual color is whiter than the pics show. pics look like 5-0 blue!

Correction, hapaboy those are parking lights not DRLs. I thought you've read the massive DRL threads. BTW, looks nice! I like the purplish white color.

Looks great, but take pictures when the car is turned off. Does it have a stupid ricer blue lens look?

Every week we have a member get those confused. Let's think about it guys. DRL (daytime-running-lights). The parking lights shown here are not on during the day. They come on when the parking lights/headlights are on at night.
