need help with what bulbs to get. pic inside

Hey all. I want to replace the wedge bulbs and the turn/fog light bulbs with HiD white bulbs to match my HiD headlights. After much ebaying i still do not know which ones i should buy. Most on ebay look very cheap and im afraid of wasting my money and time buying cheapo's. Can anyone give me some help with the best bulbs to buy?

i circled in red the light bulbs im talking about. thanks!!!

ok, i think i narrowed it down to some pretty decent bulbs. after searching the site here i found a similar thread where www.autolumination.com was recommended. on that site they have 194 white 8k led's that are 11mm . the stock size is 10mm. didnt see any threads about 11mm fitting into acuras. Has anyone tried to fit 11mm?

the 11mm are 9 led whereas the 10mm are 5led. 4 more led lights means that they will probably be 50% more bright atleast. I'd prefer these over the 5 led 10mm . They both are 32mm length . OEM is 10mm width 21mm length, according to their oem light chart on the same page.

before i order the 11mm W 32mm L can anyone say theyll fit?

link to bulbs:
http://autolumination.com/194.htm
11mm ones are 2nd set of lights down. 10mm are the first set

I went through 4 or 5 different sets of bulbs to try and match my 6000K HID's. I ended up with PIAA LED bulbs, it's definitely not easy

are the piaa led 11mm or 10mm blackac? im pretty sure the 32mm length is fine cause theres alot of room from tip of bulb to light housing but im more worried about the 11mm width.

And are you happy with those? They are awfully cheap compared to many others. Are they white and bright enough to compliment HiD headlights?
