Mine arrived in my mailbox sometime this week. It won't be one that you need to go pick up, its a small padded envelope. Super easy install, the hardest part was twisting those caps back on on the drivers side lights. Here is a pic:

Having swapped out two sets of bulb already, I found that slipping my two index fingers in to twist the dust cap is easier than trying to do it with one hand.

Yeah I was able to get my fingers and hands in there to twist them, the problem I had was lining up those stupid tabs so when I locked it, the flaps would be horizontal. 3 of 4 went in easy, just the one on the drivers side closest to the side was giving me problems. It kept locking in vertically lol, annoyed me like crazy so it took me 20 mins extra of screwing around with it to make it fit right haha

Ya they do turn blue after a little while, but that's the best one you can get in the market right now. Thanks to white46 for ordering and installing for me~~~

I thought it was just my eyes deceiving me but mine also turned blue after 10 mins. It is better than purple though.

i have no idea... they are really white on startup.. it changes after 10mins.. unlike the other ones.. these ones stay white longer.. prob 10mins more or so.. 15-20 min drive thn it turns blueish..
btw.. when i took out the old leds. 4300k mine were a bit rusty on the resistors.. anybody have that happening as well?

can you compare the 4300k VS 5000k? that is, how dramatic is the change for the 5000k turning blue versus the 4300k turning purple? which one is nearer/closer to white after changing?
