Headlamp Question

With the search I have figured out my FogLights are H11, going to buy some PIAA's to replace it...

Now which are these I can't match it to a bulb is it "H7 or 194" ?



PS Copyrights to slllygrl10 on the pics...

Oh and btw where can I get these any suggestions?

go for the 5led Bright white LEDs from autolumination...they look great...plus you can put them in the clear corners too...so buy 4 of them...hell while your at it buy a fifth one to put in the rear license plate light check out my avitar for a preview (I can post more pics if you want)

yup...the 194 Bright white 5 Leds...just pop out the old and push in the new (be careful not to bend the LEDs...individually they are fragile)

truemagellen,
Those look great, way better than the sickly yellow bulbs in the stock parking lights. I just ordered a set. Thanks!

I used the opaque LED bulbs from www.autolumination.com. They look better IMO because the light is more evenly distributed throughout the front of the lens. I tried the 5 LED cluster and it didn't really light the inside of the housing. More like 2 little dots. Good luck!!
