V-Leds/ PIAA/ iJDMtoys--LEDS
I've searched through the forum extensively and I've been able to narrow my choices down to the following 3 for parking light LEDS. I've received mixed opinions on using LEDS for this specific purpose, however it comes down to the fact I much prefer the look of the LED vs non-led bulbs and they appear to be brighter.
I really can’t decide b/t the 3, the PIAA's seem to last the longest but they appear a bit blue too me and the iJDM's have the colour I’m looking for. The V-led I couldn't find any pics but folks seem to like them.
Please let me know what you guys think and any further pictures would be great. JLai and The1andOnly I hope you guys dont mind me using your pics.Thanks

I recommend the V-LED. However, I only installed mine a few days ago so I can't speak to their longevity. But they match the OEM projector bulb almost perfectly!! If I had to guess, I'd say they're between 5000k and 6000k in temperature. All the other bulbs I have tried are either way closer to 4000K incandescent or 8000K LED, so they're the best I have found yet.

Not now, but I can try to snap some tomorrow. I think someone else on here has some, but it'll take me longer to search for them than to just take my own tomorrow.

inverted cone ultra white vleds. they come off blue.
with the fogs on (sylvania silverstar ultra) they look white
edit: i do have ijdm 6k's ready to go in. i think they are white and not so blue. the vleds last about 9 months with fogs on part of the time.

VLeds suck. they blow out after a month or 2.
Most leds will prob blow out after awhile. So why pay so much. Ive been buying all my leds from this guy in china for a couple years now and his stuff is good quality, lasts longer, and CHEAP lol

i personally have the 194 5Led refractor bulbs in my city lights, 7 months, not 1 prob, and i keep my HID fogs on all the time.

I can vouch for this ebay seller as well. Like you I've gotten stuff from him for years. He was actually pretty cool when I got an incorrect shipment too and fixed it ASAP. I still wouldn't put LED's in the headlight housing though becasue they will burn out becasue of the heat.
It really is hit or miss though, sometimes they blow, sometimes they dont.
