So I installed a new headlight and was left with the yellow tones parking light. I ordered a blue les Parking light to replace it and installed it today. I'm not certain what I think about the looks. Tell me what you guys prefer!

On a completely random note I also "installed" this custom decal on my frame(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/02/yrygatu4.jpg)
Blue looks pretty sweet. What state are you in? Some states are pretty strict on blue lights being reserved for police.
A good T-10 LED will work.
I have used white and amber in my bikes.
Blue can get in trouble: police color. Check local laws. Most laws say white, yellow or amber for front running lights. Rear can be amber, yellow or red.
The blue looks pretty silly. I'd say go with OEM matching color or something whiter.

I've found the "warm white" LED's to be the best match match to the headlight.
I have a Phillips +100 bulb and a warm white led park bulb. The warm white appears just slightly yellow compared to the uprated headlight. Still much whiter than the stock park bulb. The "cool white" LED's look somewhat blue in comparison.

OPP uses red lights if I remember correctly? (Geez, it's been over 20 years!) Still, check the rule book.
I went with white. No blue here except for emergency vehicles. No thanks on jacka** cops pulling me over for wrong colored light. But maybe where you are it isn't a big deal. I still vote white. :icon_mrgreen:
get yourself one of those "white" super bright LEDs
they still have a cool tone to them, and are very bright.
and awesome
