LED Parking Light recommendation
I'm getting the warning that one of my front parking lights is out.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a LED replacement? I'd be interested in replacing all of the exterior lights with LEDs if there is a recommendation for a good source with high quality lights that will work and have complimentary color.
Do I need can bus compatible lights for my 2011 R56?
Thanks.

JDM Astar Extremely Bright Error free px chips set 194 168 2825 w5w t 10 Led Xenon white - For parking lights
JDM Astar 1,200 lumens extremely bright 144 ex chipsets h11 h8 Led Bulbs- for fogs
JDM Aster 10 piece super bright w5w wedge bulbs 6,000k led bulbs xenon white - for interior (won't work for map lights, but too bright for those anyways Imo. Looks nice in dome and footwells)
iJDMTOY 16 sad 1.6“ 39mm cw5 Led xenon white - for license plate (JDM brand didn't fit good but had better color, returned them)
I have halogen headlights so the parking/fog are much brighter and whiter but those 2 match perfectly. Got all of this on Amazon for maybe $65 total. The exterior bulbs will not throw a code but will flicker for a few seconds unless you turn them on right away. I like to drive at dusk and dawn with the parking/fogs on, looks factory Imo. I tried LED's for headlights, looked nice but without a projector housing, too much glare. Had to return. Had all these lights for about a year, no issues. Take your time installing in good lighting and wear latex gloves. Good luck
