Heh, well they appear bluish in the picture, but in person they are really just very white. I gave up trying the regular incadescent bulbs as they were all a waste of money and quite inadequate compared to the colour temp of the Bi-X.

Unfortunately the LEDs, at this point, do not work well for the sedans due to the rear lamp design. The light output is blocked by the centre strip and since the LEDs do not diffuse light as well, the signals appear a bit too dim. I am waiting for the new style radial LEDs from formymercedes.com to be developed. Those will throw light off to the side as well, hopefully solving the problem.
Heh, I do have the HyperAmber LEDs for the front turn signals as well as the HyperWhite LED bulbs for the side marker and city lamp.
