I went with the BA9s high power ones shown second from the top here:

I did mine and they look sharp...I think the warm white probably look best, but the cool white look good too.

Yes, I replaced mine with the high power BA9s in warm white and they look great. It got rid of the yellow tint of the old incandescent bulbs and makes me that much easier to be seen in bad weather. They also don't put out the heat that was starting to melt one of my covers. 360 degree viewing angle throws the light look like it should be- not concentrated in a small area.

I did not do a search because we are talking lights and do not want to hijack the thread, but what # are the ones for the dash from superbrighlights?
Thanks. I might as well place one order and get all the lights I need?
What about the ones for the dome lights? so many lights? any other suggestions from these guys?
Thanks again
