Which parking lights are better?

[nobodywise]

For the sedan, which parking lights would illuminate the whole orange plastic thing the best.

The straight forward or the 360 style?
Also what color? (Bright white?)

Thanks in advance

i had the top 360 ones as park lights in my HB. they where nice and bright at night. i'm not sure they would have enough light output to illuminate the hole orange section and still be visible as an indicator for daytime use

for the 99c off ebay for a pair. definitely worth a few minutes to see if they work tho.

assuming the brightness of each of the LEDs are the same (but of course REALLY bright), then the 360 will be better.

if i may say so though, since these are parklights, Polarg amber bulbs are better. There is little point in changing to LEDs since their cosmetic advantage when blinking are offset by 1) you don't use them as blinkers and 2) their reliability may be questionable since LEDs are sensitive to heat, and our parklight integrated into the headlight doesnt help. just my 0.02.

Thanks for the answers. Just thought I'd ask because I found a deal for 20 for 7.99.

I just want some bright ones,don't have to be led

Have you done your interior lights? The straight forward ones make for nice map lights and a 360 for the trunk. Might replace my license plate lights with a couple of 360s since I have a few left from the kit I bought.

I have done my map and license plates with the straight forward ones and they work really well, much brighter then oem. I have yet to do the trunk. I'm planning on buying a pack once I decide which one to go with so I can do everything and have extras

Forgive my ignorance what are park lights? Are they the reverse lights? Would ether of these fit any exterior lights on a 2007 Sedan?

They are the lights that are inside the headlights, that turn on when you click it once (of course two clicks would turn on the whole headlight)

Youre welcome.

For brightness you can compare ONCE you put them in. Try the forward ones and if they seem to look like a dot on the headlight as compared to lighting a bigger area, then you might be looking at 360s.

No guarantees on these thoughts of mine as every seller/manufacturer might have the LED placed differently, and we all know that LEDs only have a degree of projection of light--if that makes sense.
