Default Is that the parking light or city light?


2010 IS250
The bulb with the orange light...that's called the parking light right? Or is the city light? What size is it? KBCarStuff has a section with parking lights and it says that it's size 194, but I just want to make sure before I make a wrong purchase. It's a 2010 is250. Thanks in advance.

It's probably the day-time running light (DRL)/highbeam. I don't think your referring to the turn signal bulb in between the two (behind the checkered plastic).

No not the turn signals... im talking about that one bulb that's lit next to the left of the low beam HID. My DRL/high beam bulb is not on and its the one to the left of that orange light. I just want to make sure that's the parking light and confirm its size..

Will this work as a parking light replacement for those lights? It's an LED bulb for the parking lights (194). http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Philips-Bl...9666000kx2.htm

Is it just plug and play installation or do I need something else? I just want to get rid of the orange on the stock parking lights so the color combines better with the low beams. Thanks...

it's plug and play, you won't have flicker issue.

just FYI, high beams is also DRL and if you're planning to switch to LED you will need a decoder. while you're changing all the light, do the courtesy light, rear dome light and front dome light.

i kept the high beams stock. i wanted blue drls, but I know that would mean I have to get led's. led high beams will not work as we all know so I eliminated that option. any other bulb would still appear orangey when in drl power so I decided to just keep it stock. i rarely use high beams anyways...it's always in low beams/fogs/city lights (what you see in this pic.).

Thanks for take the time to post some feedback and pictures! Which halogen bulbs did you get for your fog lights?
