Default Halogen Alternative?

To replace the stock 4W parkinglight bulbs, it appears there is an alternative to the LED bulbs - a 10W Halogen BA9S OSRAM 64113 bulb. Does anyone know how these 10W Halogen bulbs compare to the LED bulbs? I am looking for white and brighter bulbs to go with the HID headlights and the Sylvania SilverStar H3 ST 4000K fog light bulbs.

I ordered them 2 weeks ago. I received them today and installed them right away. WOW amazing. What a difference.
I bought them on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123 2pcs BA9S 1895 5 Power LED (Xenon White) Bayonet Bulbs, no affiliation etc.
This is exactly what I was looking for.

Ordered mine today from superbrights.com
Parking, BA9SCWH P6
license 3610 CW4
interiors, bonnet & boot 4410CW9
h3 fogs (9 power) H3WHP9

If you have trouble finding the part number, go to the catagory that fits your light and just push buy now button...there you will find the pull down menu for the bulbs you are looking for.
They shipped out a couple hours after I completed my online order.

Looking forward to some lights that don't look so yellow and dingy...thanks for starting the thread!

OK - I must be the most dense guy ever! I finally figured out the Parking lights from Ebay but for the life of me I can't even get close to finding the interior, bonnet, boot and h3 fogs on superbright.com.

Here are the numbers...(i do not like the superbrights sight...very confusing. you are not dense!)

trunk, engine lid, interior
GO TO LED FESTOON BULBS AND USE THE THUMBNAILS ON THE RIGHT...LOOK FOR
4410CW9 AND CLICK BUY NOW.


Go to LED daytime running light section and click on the thumbnail to the right and pick your H3 bulb there (mine was H3WHP9 9 POWER)

Good luck!

great timing and nice post.
ABCar, thanks for navigating superbrightleds.com and finding all those model numbers.
that site has some great products.
I ordered one of the high power LED Festoon bulbs, 4410-xHP12 for the engine light. it'll be interesting to see how much light it provides. that and the cigarette lighter flashlight could be enough light for a night time rain soaked belt change.
