This isn't for high beams, is it?

That is what I went with. It had the best reviews (believe me I read tons) It is more of a whiter light and less of the bluish

[QUOTE=SquidwarD;8995598]Yup those are it! Now as for the "color" I did buy the white and yes they honestly do have a slight bluish tint to them. You can see it in the picture I posted. I am adding a pic of them with the stock headlight bulbs on, and you can see on the molding of the headlight there is a bluish hue from the light.

Can these be used in the side marker lights also? (The one's in the front fenders)

Hello all, I realize this post is very old but I don't see much talk on the forum about LED city lights. I bought PIAA w5w LED bulbs and they look great but throw the stinking code so I took them out. No bid deal they shall be returned to PIAA but I am bummed that a "high end" bulb manufacturer like PIAA would have LED's that cause errors. The question I have is how does the car know that the bulb non compliant and throw the code? I guess it senses a difference in the load the LED causes versus the incandescent? Thanks for any input.

Quite a few of my German buddies buy their LED's bulbs from this site. No errors as far as I know.
