Thumbs up Parking Lights

Today I replaced my LED parking light bulbs with traditional bulbs that I bought at a store for $0.41 for each (W5W Narva).
I did this because since I bought the car, I've had two different light colors – cool LED parking lights and warm traditional low beams (as seen in the first photo).
Currently, I have all traditional bulbs with a warm white light (as seen in the second photo).

What are your bulb preferences? Which ones do you use in your Crossfires?

As I now live in a rural/urban area of Georgia, I changed mine to LEDs so I could see better at night and see the deer.

@Nelson G Thanks for the feedback.
Maybe one day I’ll come around to LEDs, but for now I prefer the traditional warm light bulbs.

I use LEDs in everything except the license plate lights and turn signals.

@pizzaguy I've now noticed that this thread should have been posted in a different section of the forum.
Could you please move it to the 'Exterior & Lighting' section?

@Myopic Any time. I'm happy to see someone as interested in preserving their Crossfire as much as myself!

@M60A3Driver Thank you for your kind words, although it's hard to compare, because you repair everything on your Crossfire yourself, and I just spend money on it.

@dcskmail It looks scary, but interesting at the same time.
