These are my 8k lowbeams by the way ('06 IS 350)



Thats why I want my Park lights Blue

I would recommend 6000K V-LED 13 SMT parking lights. V-LEDs seem to be slightly bluer compared to a similarly rated HID bulb in my experience so it should be a decent match. Running blue parking lights in California is asking for trouble. The blue V-LED parking lights would be considerably bluer than your lowbeams anyway.

Last question, I know what the DRL's are... but when do you see the parking lights? haha

I followed Brociouz's LED Guide (awesome by the way, just got done replacing all my interior lights) and used the VLED parking light he recommended...and I do have to say that it is more blue than the OEM HIDs (which are the last bulbs I need to swap), so that might be the route you should take to avoid any issues from the real blue lights

When the headlights are on, or when you turn on just the parking lights...

ApokC

He tested white lights though...

Trust me, they are a white color with a tint of blue...if I had my car here I would take a picture...think of them like a 6000k HID color

So like this?

Ya but I have 8k lowbeams... you think 6k parking would be good?

Not sure how well it would match, but the 6k Vleds do have a hint of blue. They were to blue for my 6k HIDs. The blue leds are VERY blue and you will definitely get hassled at night.

ApokC

Well I just looked at the 6k, and they're out of stock

any other place I can buy em?

Another option would be to get this: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...81039-1-2.html

It's basically the same as the 13 SMT (http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/G...38587-1-2.html) but less bright. This may seem like a bad thing, but with a dimmer parking light, it makes color matching easier because your lowbeams wash them out. Plus, these are cheaper, and in stock.

Got the car back from the dealer this morning and took a quick picture of my VLED white parking light...keep in mind that the low beam is a stock HID

Hope this helps, you can see the slightly blue tint...

ApokC

^^^ that does help, thank you! I figured you guys were right about the pure blue, that could cause problems.

Found some on EBAY, got the 6k LED's like Mr. Bro suggested, Ill take pics when they're installed next to my 8k lowbeams

Thanks guys for the help!
