    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hey guys! I just purchased a used 2011 4.6 Tech on Saturday and I noticed that one of the driving light bulbs is out (the ones adjacent to the high beams). I'd like to replace both of these with LEDs in a color similar to the HID headlamps so I scoured these forums and found that the bulb size is 168/194.

My question is: Have any of you swapped these out for LEDs and can you point me to the bulb you're using? If so, I'd also really appreciate it if anyone could link me to a picture of the bulbs installed and lit on the car. Thanks a lot for any assistance.
 
Yes I did. However LED s don't last long with the heat generated by the other lights. Bulb Web sites state this but I put them in anyway. Well after changing them twice in 6 months I am back to OEM bulb. I did find some 5000k incandescent bulbs that are working well now.
 
Thanks for the quick reply and for the heads up about the heat, that's good info. Was the swap-out procedure pretty trivial? Also, which incandescent bulbs did you go with?
