Getting a little tired of mine as they don't seem to last. They don't blow, just that they go dimmer and dimmer. Looking for something bright enough to be seen in light drizzle and when parking lights are on, and something white. Any recommendations (also on where to get em)?edit: Sorry, referring to parking lights ... my bad
 
I'm using H1 phillips bulb for my pilot light and main light (can't remember model). But my pilot light is blue.
 
Lemme see that on your car and then I'll decide... ... but seriously... Anyone?

Hmm... that's gonna look a little odd with the HIDs turned on?

Eldrow, are you talking about the pilot light for the high beam headlamp.. try some of the white LED.. they last very long and consume little current.. cost about rm28.00 for a pair.. most of the acc shop carried them..I used to have one type that is blinking with 3 colour.. you want to buy this ah beng LED.

Is it H1 bulb? If i'm not mistaken, the parking light is using W5W bulbs. H1 or H7 bulbs are for low and high beam. Correct me if i'm wrong.

White light is the most difficult to see in the rain. Better to have yellow light for rain. White light works fine in clear weather.Get some PIAAs, will cost a bomb. Get the ones with a little bit of yellow.
