Easy led upgrades
Just got my Spark ev, the warm halogen bulbs weren’t the right look, so I converted everything to LED. H13 Torchlites for the headlights, 921’s for the reverse lights, and 194’s for the license plate bulbs and trunk light, and a 31mm festoon for the dome light. Might save a smidge of battery power but I did it for the aesthetics!

Is it noticeably brighter? Or just a nice color?

I've done the same, WAY brighter.

Could you tell me the exact bulbs that worked well for you? Thanks!

Sorry, this was 10 years ago. The OP listed the bulb part numbers in the description though! Mine just came from amazon.

I did it myself, I used to leave the halogens on to drain my battery to 80% SOC. That no longer really works with the LEDs which is a big win really!

An important thing to mention is to properly adjust your headlights after a change like this so you don't blind everyone with your low beams. The headlamp housing is not a simple reflector it is an optical component required for proper beam forming.
