Need opinion on color of LEDs

[Icepuck72]

I'm looking to swap out the 194's up front (parking lights). However, I'm torn between putting in amber LED's or the white ones.

I have a 2004 with the amber DRL's, and I'm not sure if it will look right with the bright whites and amber DRL's on.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks -

I'm looking at getting the SMT LED's from here:

So I'm going to assume that no one has switched their amber parking lights to the White LED's?

I don't know about the outside, but I ordered LED's for the inside of my runner, and although I liked the color better, the light emitted was terrible. I switched back to stock bulbs.

i previously had white leds on my 2004. I put in a 5 led amber bulb in and i like the look if it better than the whites. Just pick what you prefer.

Do you have DRL's? I was wondering what the white LED's would look like with the amber DRL's.

How on earth did you get the parking lights out? They are really crammed in there. On the driver side, I feel that I have to move the battery out of the way, and the passenger side is just as tough.

Any special tricks?

Driver side is little tight but possible. Reach with right hand standing at fender side as opose to front of vehicle. But i'm sure there is more than one way to get there. Good luck.

I'm a little confused. Don't the DRL's turn off if you turn on either the headlights or the parking lights?

No, the DRL's will stay on if the parking lights are on. They go off once you turn on the headlights.

they turn off at night and become turn signals.
i bet at daytime, it'll be useless since the light is close to daylight. they look cool at dusk though.
