They're W5W bulbs, so you can replace them with 168 bulbs or 194 LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I just replaced mine with these. http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/miniature-wedge-base/194-168-158-led/white-5k/5k-white-10-led-light-bulbs-194-158-168-2825-1-pair.html For the price it can't be beat. I love them. They look more blue in the pic than they really are because I was in a parking garage with flourescent lighting. I actually could get better torque on the sockets by turning my back to the headlamp (front of the car) and reaching back behind me with my hand to twist the socket. They are tough but they will turn.

I'm also using the 6 LED version of those for my license plate lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
