    7 leds would be brighter than 4 but these are brighter still;
    2x 25mm 168 194 1W 12V Xenon White HP LED Wedge Bulbs - eBay Other Lights, Indicators, Lights, Indicators, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 14-Oct-08 11:04:23 AEST)
    The problem with LEDS is that the light shines forward and not to the sides as well, like a normal globe, so you get more of a straight beam because the light doesn't hit the reflector. I tried several types of LEDS and eventually went with Narve blue wedge bulbs. They are a normal bulb with blue glass giving off a nice white glow while still making use of the reflector. I bought them at Repco if you are interested.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    so you're saying the narve bulbs from repco would be better than the ones in the link you posted?

    thanks for that mate, cos i drive to work when it just starts to get dark, and i want some tough looking parkers hehe.

    I prefer them to the LEDs Ive tried. With the LEDs you get a strong beam which shines forward, not much light hits the reflectors. With the Narva globes the light shines in all directions and hits the reflector giving more even light.

    Yes, I am using Narva Blue driving lights as well and wanted white parkers instead of the yellowish light from the stock globes.
    The Narve Blue wedge globes were $10 for a pair.
