Anyone here familiar with the Raybrig RC22 High Intensity Blue White Color LED Wedge Bulbs? They are supposed to fit the parking lights on the 05 Cooper S, available from xtremewhite.com
Any comments, experiences?

I posted about these lights on Nemini.......and plenty of times here.

Here's what they look like installed.

Actually I got the RC23's.....

And I have them in my side markers as well as my interior...

I got them from xtremewhite.com as well. One piece of advice is that if you are going to order a whole bunch of bulbs, call them up and they will give you a break on the shipping.

 

I think the RC-22 replace the RC-23 as the 23 ones are no longer available.
i really only want my parking light to have a brighter shine, not concerned with anything else.
Do those RC 23 have an impact on your turnsignal? To me it looks like to seperate bulbs.
Cheers

Parking and turn signal are different bulbs.

The turn signal is a 1156 bulb whereas the parking light is a 194.

 

Just wondering how accurate the color is in that photo LOTF; the wedge bulbs you used seem to make the lamps very blue, is that the case? It seems like it could be the optics of that lamp vs the normal headlamps or foglamps illuminating 'super white' bulbs. If so I will think twice about that, the police are pretty darn strict with anything that looks particularly blue or red lit in the front of cars around here as it is illegal and they take notice..

 

Good point but unfortunately a lot of people (no one in particular, just a trend) really dont care (Until they get caught)

 

its not the raybrigs, but its the piaa wedge bulbs...

 

where did you get?

Looking for these things, I got the fogs and highbeams and I just need these things.

 

I actually just installed some 194 blue led parking bulbs from autolumination.com; they are excellent quality and inexpensive ($2.50 a bulb). They look really good at night, but I might take them off and go with super white instead. I think the blue lights looks awesome with my IB/B, but I dont want anyone to get my car confused with a "ricer" because the blue is very noticible at night time; also its probably not 100% legal.

 

The reason it looks blue is because I have a 1156 turn signal bulb that shines up bright white right next to it......and the lens on THAT bulb is tinted blue.

So no, they do not show up blue.

 

i got them locally in toronto, but you can try sigma automotive (search it on google), they carry an oodle of lighting for any car, and they have raybrig or piaa too
