Haven't been around and/or bothered to take night shots yet, but did get some very cheap LED globes for the parking lights. The original look very insipid and yellow next to the HID headlights. The globes I got are supposed to be CanBus friendly (no errors) and so far have not produced an error light on the dashboard (haven't done a scan with VCDS yet).

*** About a week later *** tried to remove these to try some other ones I got and they broke. The tongue is quite fat and gets stuck in the holder, so it breaks off when you pull the bulb out. So although the bulbs work great, count on them breaking if needed to be removed. They're so cheap this doesn't really matter as long as you have replacements.


Here's a shot with one bulb of each type (the bonnet's open, in case you're wondering). Not quite as bright (or rather doesn't fill the whole light up) as it looks in the photo. Should be good to use like DRL's.

Great how-to, thanks for that. The Parkersburg look pretty good too! Look forward to seeing some high and low headlight shots
