replace "city" lights with LED?
Is there an LED bulb available that will replace the "city" lights in our headlamps? Mine make my headlights look so yellow and I want to upgrade headlight bulbs soon so I was hoping there was an upgrade available for the city lights as well?
Yep, not sure they will like the temps that come with the main lamp. Also, you might want a small LED bulb style that projects light in several directions, so the reflector will work with it, as oposed to an LED style that just has light straight off the main axis.

Some owners have used the regular small bulbs that have been colored (green, etc.). There may be local laws about that however.

I've found some standard bulbs witha different hue but they are pricey so I thought the LED may be a better option. Guess I'll grab the matching city lights when I order my new headlight bulbs and not bother with LEDs.
How will they know it is supposed to have them?
My thoughts exactly.
They have you turn the lights on, they wont know there are supposed to be bulbs in there.

The city lights are the small "194" style bulbs mounted in the headlight assemblies below the headlight bulb. They are designed to come on when the headlight switch is turned to position 1 for the running lights. I believe they are designed to be used when in dense urban areas, where homes are tightly packed, so your headlights don't shine into your next door neighbor's living room window.
