Does anyone know the correct light bulb to buy from http://www.superbrightleds.com that will work as a replacment for the parking light bulb on a 2004 GS500F?
I assume you mean the front one.
I haven't taken one out but you can do that then find a bright one with the same base. Most LEDs are polarized (one pin + and the other - ). Worst case is you'll have to reverse the wires on the lamp socket.
Unless burnt out, I wouldn't worry about the parking light as it is such low wattage it hardly uses any electricity.
If you want to save power, get their motorcycle tail lights. Direct replacement for the bulbs in the tail including a white LED to illuminate the license plate.

I need a white replacement bulb for the "front" Parking light, "the light that is below the headlight". Ive already replaced the The High/Low Beam bulb with a super white bulb, I think it would look stupid riding around with a white headlight and a yellow parking light, Thats why I want to change it. Im having trouble finding information on what kind of bulb I need, I have googled it and used this sites serch engine, I found no direct answer... Nothing specific...
Update: I put in WLED-WHP5 and looks bright and white. Says non-polarized but it was.
WLED-x6 also worked just fine.

OK. Now I see.
The parts list only says 12v 5 watts.
I did the logical thing and took it out of my bike to look at it. Nothing more than a common variety T10 wedge type landscape light. WLED-x6 also worked.

Something like one of these would work:
WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs with High Power SMD LEDs
T3-1/4 (#194/168) type bulbs with High Power SMD. Wide Angle LEDs up to 120 degrees. 12 Volt DC operation.
I got some of the WLED-xLX in and they are bright. Non-polarized so doesn't make any difference which way you put it in.
Others also would work, but if polarized you need to insert it the right way.
WLED-xHP
74-x
74-xHP
Thanks alot for your help, I really appreciate it! :icon_mrgreen:
