@lucky

We are talking about the side markers on the front quarter panels, right? 24w sounds like a bit much for 194 bulbs. I would have expected a 194 LED to be ~0.5-1w. What is the link for the PIAA bulbs you are looking at?

My side markers are turn indicators. Are they on your model year?

yes we are talking about the same spot, i thought that was high to. i no it has more then 1 led in it but they dont say how many. the piaa site does not tell u the wattage but if i check amazon or some other site the info says 24w, not sure if i schould just put a bulb in or not. just hate to think that when it burns out will have to take all that stuff off again just to get to it and we no led las much longer

well i have been to 10 sites and none off them say the wattage,they just say 12v so i am starting to think that the one site that says 24w might be wrong. part #19263 piaa high intensity led wedge bulbs known as 168,194 so i am not sure what i will do right now.

That 24w HAS to be a typo. These two sites list them at 5w

Do your side markers blink?
