Parking Light LEDs?

[00328]

I am trying to find some orange 194s. I got some 194s from VLEDS and also Superbrightleds and both lights are too yellow/amber. I am trying to match or at least half way match my orange DRLs and the orange grill lights I installed.

I'm probably just being too picky, but it would be nice if all the lights looked at least somewhat similar.
Wondering if anyone else had the same experience and if they were able to find leds that were a little more orange.
Thanks for any help.

You're probably better off using incandescents, 194A. I've tried several 194 LEDs and they're all yellow/amber

I ordered and installed these a couple of years ago:

The color looks spot on to me, matches my DRL's color. They are bright and I haven't had an issue since I installed them.

Thanks, I've been looking at that specific bulb and actually had it in my cart. I hesitated because all the reviews stated how bright it was. I figured it might be too bright. But, they are pretty cheap so I'll give it a shot.

Happy to help, I don't find them to be too bright, but our tastes may vary. I can't remember for sure but I think they are brighter than the incandescent's they replaced.

They do sit slightly closer to the clear interior 'lens' portion of the housing, but they don't generate enough to heat to worry about it and like I said, I haven't had any issues in ~2yrs.

Sorry to hear the V-Leds didnt match up. At one point I had the amber from V-Leds and they looked really good. But LED technology changes so quick, everytime i goto their site the bulbs are always changing.

Can we post pics directly anymore without uploading? not seeing my pic here in preview? Here is the link to it.

Hey J.A., thanks for posting.
Several years ago I visited your thread about changing to LEDs and purchased the bulbs you recommended at that time for the parking lights and they were perfect.
Well one finally burnt out. Couple weeks ago I found your thread again because I forgot the bulb # and found it had been discontinued. I bought the new bulb that you recommended and unfortunately the color was different. But your right things change and that's fine, it's a quality bulb and I'm sure I'll find a use for it.
I got the JDMs coming and hopefully they work out.
