might be ok for interior. bluish purple footwell.

It's pretty dim lighting there so might not be that bad. Plate lights might be fine as well, but would have to see to determine.

And I dont think I ever have seen a LED color temperature shift over time

it does shift ! i have no ideea why and how , but it does. it changes from white to purple .

i bought the 6000k because on their site the light was whiter then the 4000k ones.

install these where? There's already a writeup on interior, sidemarker, and trunk. The eyelids you just reach in and disconnect from the top.

I think you went to high @ 6000K. Can't wait for the 4300K and see how that turns out...

When these do finally come in, could you guys post up opinions of how they match with the stock Xenons? I know camera effects will distor the true colours but pictures will be appreciated. I'm looking to order them for mine!

I ordered 2 sets of the 6000k.
I hope it's not as bad as it sounds. I really hate purple lights.
It doesn't look at all purple or overly blue on the website.
