What kind of bulb is in the sidemarker? Is it 194? I want to replace it with xenon/white color..instead of the ugly amber.

I replaced mine with a super white led. Pretty easy direct swap. A local custom shop had the part in stock but I bet you can find online.

Forgot to say that before I went led, I tried replacing with "super white" bulbs, but they looked like crap.

I think you can replace them with a T-10 LED Bulb.

T-10's wil surely fit, just get the correct design.
If you get the ones that are too long, they wont fit.
