I have a LED CITY LIGHTS THREAD, with single polarized 12w led with a 25ohm 25watt resistor, you just have to mount it on metal for it to not flicker.

well guys im going to need all of your help, me living in a small city i dont have the resources, besides the internet to find my answer.

I am looking for the best matched city bulbs for this color low's:



This picture shows the best output when looking w/ the naked eye. I am struggling to find something, i tried the piaa super plasma gtx and some no name brand super white bulbs w/ no luck. From pictures iv seen of the teras, they might not even match up at all?

Please help me.
