light question

just wondering what some of you guys are running for light bulbs in the front turnsignal/parking light position. it is the small round light below the headlight if i didnt get the labeling correct. i just installed a set of hid headlights in the coop and want something a lttle more white instead of the yellow it is now.

You could get some super white bulbs, when off they look blue, but when on look almost white with a hint of blue, or you coud fit some LEDs, they sell them in warm white and cool white, which look similar to the super white.

I've tried 4-5 different kinds of LEDs, and haven't found any that put out enough light, in the proper pattern, of the right color, that last long enough in that location. I finally switched back to the stock 194 bulbs, then today installed the PIAA extreme white incandescent bulbs (look like the standard bulbs, coated blue). They look terrific!

If you want some brighter leds check out the WLED-WHP6 LED Wedge Base Bulbs and the WLED-WHP LED Wedge Base Bulbs at http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html I havent tried them out but they seem really good.
