There is no good way of telling which LEDs will match your HIDs. HIDs come in varrying color temperatures. LEDs are not rated in color temperatures, but in nM of wavelength because they have a very focused color. HIDs have a central color range. Even if you post pix, the cameras are different and monitors are different. Sorry, there would be no way of telling. Get the ones I have. I'm telling you that they are NOT green like in the pictures. They are slightly blue, but whiter then my HIDs which are 12000K.
Your corners need to be amber. By law, the corners need to be amber. This is something that would get you pulled over for changing the color. If you want LED corners, go with SuperBrightLEDs.com

I'll take some pic's tonight of the LED marker light's I got maybe half a week ago. Only thing about them is I thought they would have a wider range of light. They do have a wide range of light but they just don't look it when you look at the bulb.
if i get leds for my corners lights will i have to get the flasher relay thing for them?
DTN could you show me the markers leds that you got? the link that you put up to ebay says that the item is not there anymore

no, they're very narrow range. That's a key charactoristic of LEDs. This is why even with the brightest LED flashlight it can be hard to see things and colors look more bland.
LED spectral analysis

HID Spectral analysis

You can see that because it generates more different types of non-centrally focused light, you would have better color clarity with the HID. This also means that the LED will never look the same as the HID.
I don't know where to find them anymore. Sorry.
Finally took some pics. I got these from Hong Kong. 194 6 LED Bulb Took two week's but that was throughout the holiday's. I only chose these because they were the only ones that had shipping to Canada under $25...They were a really close fit when putting them in though. They touch the cover of the marker lights.


^^^ looks good man i order mine from superbrightleds.com i got a few different kinds to try out and see which ones i like better.
quick question? if i was to led a amber led for my corner lights will i have to get a flasher thing for it to work right? and if so which one do i have to get?

Not to sure. So you want to get an amber LED for your corners? Just so they can be brighter than they are now?, or do you want the lights that look blue when they are off but light up amber?
