I found it easier to remove the air box, for the passenger light and remove the battery for the driver's side. The bulbs are 194 for sure.

Isn't just about every light in our car a 194? License plate, courtesy lights, etc? or are some of them 168's? I can't remember. I just want to get a handful of LED's and replace all of them.

I actually unplugged my city lights altogether. I'm running a 6000k HID setup and it looks awesome without the city lights. I'll try to take some pics later on.

It could be the heat from the headlight bulbs. The LED bulbs I bought had a warning on them that they couldn't be used inside a headlight for that reason.

They've been in the headlight with a HID bulb for more than three months with no problems. So if you still have incandescent headlight bulbs, that could be the problem.

It definitely looks good! It was easier than swapping out the bulb too.

the bulb that is in your headlight next to your projector/low beam. They may also be referred to as parking lights

Man I just bought these for my brother's SC400 and all I can say is wow! These are pure white with no blue. They are kind of pricey but I feel that they are quality and much brighter than most other leds out there. I am going to order a set now for my car.
