Will these LED's fit for the parking lights?
Ive been looking at different LED conversions for our parking lights.
Most people use the 6 LED one which is nice but i was wondering if these would fit...
http://superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html
they are the second from the top:WLED-xLX, I know the base will fit but im just unsure of the clearance inside the parking light housing.
here are the dimensions:

batang, if I am reading that properly, it's an 11mm diameter bulb.
I have these, from VLEDs - http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68269-1-2.html
If you look, you can see they are 11mm as well, and they fit perfectly. However, they are MUCH shorter overall than the ones you are looking at, being 19.5mm in length instead of 28mm , so I can't say the ones from SBL will fit lengthwise. But, they are a go in terms of diameter.

No, they won't fit.
Only LEDs similar size to OEM will fit.
You may use longer (not larger) LEDs but need to knock the reflector out.

We should have asked, which parking lights do you mean? The small spherical parking lights inside the headlight or the corner lights? The ones I linked to were for my headlight parking lights, and they worked fine. But again, they were short.
As a side note, I would recommend either AutoLumination or VLEDs over SuperBrightLEDs. I've ordered from them all. My order from SBL left me with one DOA bulb and 4 emails were never responded to. It was cheap so I let it go, but I haven't been back to them since.

batang, if you have questions about VLEDs, ask Aipex8, he's always been great at light questions. There was a discount code for RX8Club members for VLEDs too, but I don't know if it still works or not. If memory serves, it was just RX8CLUB, but I don't remember the % discount. VLEDs are a bit more expensive, but I think you probably get what you pay for on both sites.
If you need more pictures of the lights, one of my albums has pictures of the LEDs I got from VLEDs, both for my parking lights and my clear corners.
