Replacing corner parking bulbs with LED's???
Hey guys,
Currently, my parking bulbs are yellow like this:
I would like to make them a whiter hue with a bulb like the polarg M4's. However,
I was also thinking of replacing them with LED's like this:

If you want to buy leds then I would try this website http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm, they are like $1.50 and $5 flat shipping charge.
Thats where I am going to order mine from, Ill let you know how it works out.

mwbuck,
Did you ever replace them with something? My '02 RX has the factory HID's and I also wanted to change out those yellowish looking bulbs to something nice and white. Thanks.

Bought and installed the PIAA white LED's today. Each bulb assembly contains two LED's in it for maximum brightness. Polarity is important, so if you plug them into the socket and they don't light, don't freak out. Pull the bulb out of the socket, rotate the bulb 180 degrees and push it back into the socket. The 3 pix attached are a closeup of the bulbs and a before and after picture.
