Nice! So to double check before I go running out and buying myself a pair of Raybrig RC23's, "W5W" mentioned in other threads is the same as "168 wedge light 12v0.2w" (RC23)?
168's will fit into that tiny parking light beside the emblem?
(How to get it in there would be another question)

i used to have LEDs but they turned out too bluish in color...i since took them out and replaced with Polarg xenons...it matches MUCH better with the HIDs...you can't even tell...only lights i haven't changed is the HIDs...can you even change those bulbs to get them whiter?

Polargs are teh best you can get in there.
as for the HID's the higher the K rating for the bulb the more purple the color is. ie stock halogens run about 3000K most HID's/ hyper whites range in the 4300K-5000K range....then the purpleish lights like audis are more in the 7000K range...and so on....
try these websites for info and some bulbs. i think, i am not sure, that changing the bulb will change the color. i dont know that you need to change the ballasts too.

I have a couple spare blue 194 LEDs here. How can I install these to those driving lights? I have been scoping it out but can't seem to find the place where I could install them. Pls help.

into the parking lamps? it is a real PITA. you either have to have small hands or be really flexible. on the driver side if you remover the fuse box cover it is a bit easier. reach in there and twist off the connector. pull it out and replace the bulb. to get it into place it is easier if you have the lamps on to see what you are doing. put it back and twist it back on. the passenger side is easier if you remove the engine covers. there is a box there with three 10mm bolts, remove those then unclip the two small retainer clips on the outside edge of the box, then its the same twist off. good luck and try not to get frustrated, it takes patience :D i've done this several times...and i own a subaru not an RX
