Where could I buy the LED light bulb ?

I'm getting the clear bumper lights, and I have the Philips 6000k HID (super white with light purple tint), so I need a super white light bulb in my clear bumper lights. And it seems that LED bulb would pretty match it. Do you know where could I buy the LED?

And I"m also replacing all of the stock bulb because I think the after market bulbs would be brighter ?Any other suggestion beside the LED ?
Thanks!

Those are the ones I got, they look really really good. (There are 4 LED bulbs per light)

He means for the bumber lights. The only company that makes bulbs anything close to 7440 is www.ledtronics.com. They only make 1156 type bulbs which have 24 LEDs per bulb and cost $80 each. They come in amber, blue or superwhite. You could get 1156 plugs and modify your blinkers a little bit to hold them in. I dont think you want to spend $160 on blinkers though. I almost did but decided its not worth it. Just get Polargs or PIAA's. They'll never match the HIDs but thats the best you can do. The parking and corner bumber lights are more important because they're on all the time. I have those in LED. You can get them from the site Reefers posted or www.autolites.net. I have 2 sets of 6000K bulbs in my car and they're impossible to match. The LEDs are the closest you can get.

For my headlight corners and my bumper corners. I'll take some pics cause I know 96TL wanted to see what the 4 LED per bulb looks like.

whoops! my bad.. the ones that i have are 194's for the corners. all they are is a single LED (hyperwhite) that will fit into the 194 connector. my blinkers are standard PIAA hyperwhite.
