Has anyone installed the 194 High power bulbs for their parking or puddle lights? I am thinking about ordering a white set for my puddle lights and a blue set for my parking lights(aka city lights).

Does anyone have blue for their parking lights and would like to post a pic?
I like the look and want to know which bulb to get either the 360 degree bulb or the High power bulb to fill the whole housing. Any comments?

I bought and installed Putco LEDs for my parking lights, but immediately uninstalled them and got VLEDs instead. It had nothing to do with quality, etc. It's simply that the Putco LEDs I got were a stick shape with light emitted only out the end of the stick, pointing straight ahead. It was also very powerful. That may be great for some applications, but not parking lights. That's because the lights ended up looking like very small, bright concentrated points of light that were almost blinding to oncoming traffic.

The VLEDs on the other hand are cylindrically shaped, emitting light from the top as well as 360 degrees around. This is what you want in the parking lights, which sit in a reflector housing, and the 360 degree light fills up the whole housing with light instead of leaving it dim like the Putcos.

I don't know the name of the specific VLEDs bulbs you want but they're linked to in brociouz's lighting thread.

I went with these in my parking lights from VLEDs.I believe the same LEDs Calvin used.
