need help finding a bulb size

ive checked the stickied threads in this same section but cannot find the bulb size for the 2 small lights towards the center of each headlight.

i got a ticket for having blue lights and am looking for a replacement.

This will help you in all your light buld needs. The bulbs you are refering to are the front parking lights.

proper fitment of LEDs in the parking lights is dependent upon the type of headlights you have. There are slight differences between the HID and Halogen housings... I found out the hard way having Halogens.

A 5 bulb cluster may fit on non-HID headlights but as a basic rule of the thumb the smaller the footprint of the bulb the better.

These 9 bulb clusters will definitely not fit non-HID setups but work fine on HIDs:



I got tired of replacing my parking light LEDs every time one of the bulbs would burn out and/or flicker and eventually just put in some super bright conventional bulbs.

do your head lights "heat up"? are they blue/white-ish? Is there a head light level senser on your drivers side rear control arm? Do your bulbs have a warning label on them? What model is your car? All these are good indicators.
