    I really like the look of the yellow 168 bulbs in the parking light (reference thread!). But, I would like them to be even brighter, hence the 921 bulbs, I know they share the same T10 base.

    Does anyone know if the bulb physically fits into the upper parking lamp housing?

    The forward-facing parking bulb enclosement is quite small. Take a look at it with a standard 168 bulb.

    Also, if they're too close to the plastic headlight cover, the cover can be melted or discolored/blackened.
