Yellow parking lights and fogs and LED license plate bulbs...

So I got the first of three bulb installs done. First up are the parking lights. The passenger's side is effing RETARDED to get to... luckily they actually rotate out very easily (I was able to rotate and pop out the bulb socket ((which is way longer than I thought it would be)) with just my finger tips). I replaced the stockers with Nokya Hyper Yellow 192 bulbs. They are definitely a lot brighter than stock. They are supposedly a 16W light output bulb versus 5W for stock. I would say the light output is 3000K but they do not give specific numbers. I'm happy with the results. I haven't found anybody with yellow parking lights (pretty much all I found were hyper white LEDs)... not to say no one's done it... but I found nothing searching on here. So here's some search fodder!

I will update this thread when the fogs and license plate bulbs come (can never have enough of the same thread, eh?).

Pics:

The reflection on the bottom of the housing in this pic is literally exactly the hue of the lights in person.

on the drivers side you can take the fuse box cover off and reach in and twist. on the passenger side there is even less room and you need to take the PCM cover off.

The parking light install is a pain in the ***... there is a DIY here that I followed... it's retty straight forward. They're really easy to remove once you have your fingers situated in there... they rotate easily.

I just did the fogs today... what a pain haha. No room to do anything!!

Pictarzz:






I used the plasma yellow bulbs from AutoLumination. It seems everyone here hates them but I've never had a problem with any of their products. I know their not the best but they look good.
