CANBUS LEDs because I like the blueish tint. Or CANBUS LEDs at 4300K if you like white. Or OEM if you like yellow. Or PIAA if you like to spend extra cash for no reason. Or PolarG if you want white-ish and don't like to spend a lot of cash.

I have the Polarg and I like it very much.
It is reasonably priced, doesn't have the error message/flickering issues of LEDs (unless you go for with the pricey ones with the resistors), and has a more consistant and brighter light as the beam is non-directional as is the LEDs and takes advantage of the headlight's reflector. The color matches almost perfectly with my factory bi-xenon headlights.

I ordered the 6000k Canbus LED lights just to see for myself if they will be better. We will see...

According to the GB thread 6000K.s will look blue/purple.

I love the LEDs I bought from Phrank. 1000 times better than the Hoen "city-lights" I had previously.

i went out and bought a PIAA LED with 6500k and installed them into the kick lights by the pedals and their not showing very bright idk why. very disappointed. PLUS the LEDs that i bought for my DOMEs are good, except for the fact that the drivers side has a shade of blue while the passengers side is white. -sigh-

considering to buy these for the domes, kick lights and eyelids.
