Mine seem to be a little on the *BLUISH* tint. Probably because i just installed them or its daytime. But I'm sure i ordered XENON WHITE. Just in case they're a different color, i bet they'll replace them!

Post pics please =p

+1 on this

Nik_Ind

Pics as requested. iJDMs installed today. Also, the LEDs in the pic seem a little brighter than they actually are. But not much difference to be honest!

Royce118

Thanks for the pics. Are you saying there is not much difference compared to stock or compared to Polargs?

Nik_Ind

I said that because the pics i saw of other member's LEDs seemed different. Mine, as i also previously mentioned, are a little bit *BLUISH* but not to the extent that they can be compared to 8000K or something. And comparing these with the stock, MUCH BETTER, I LOVE EM!!!

Polargs:- NO FRIGGIN IDEA ON THE MATCH!

Royce118

I was talking about the brightness compared to stock. Not the colour. And yes yours do look more "Bluish". Think I'll be getting this soon as well.

Nik_Ind

Alright. Yes, the brightness is also much more than the stocks! It's a pretty safe bet. And also a word of caution: If you plan on installing them yourself, make sure your engine is running. Because when i was doing so, i didn't have it on, so while plugging them in and testing them the battery levels came down real bad. As a result, the car wouldn't crank up. So i had to jump start it. Just a friendly advice! CHeers! And do post some pics of those buddy!

Teck

NIce pics thanks Do they match the stock bi-xenon headlights?

Nik_Ind

That's a negative bud! I'm waiting for my 6000Ks to arrive from iJDMtoy, the same company. After those, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna get a match

Teck

Can't wait for your update. Be sure to post some pics

So how are you sure that these LEDs won't burn your housing? I am still unclear about what causes some LED bulbs to burn the housing; is it the bulb itself or the built-in resistor??

Nik_Ind

LEDs as i previously mentioned do not get really hot. Although it is incorrect to say that LEDs DO NOT get hot. Probably why people say that is in comparison to normal bulbs. What does get hot is the resistor, because this is where all the load is passing through. There's a mathematical calculation that goes into making a proper LED by applying the right amount of resistance in order to keep the heat down in addition to control power loss too. So i think people who had their housings burnt didn't probably use the right ones. Rest i'll let you know if i ever experience a burnt housing! Cheers!

mat2hu

ya i think so also, because I heard if anything LED bulbs use less wattage and generate less heat, but rather its the resistor that produces too much heat. I think i'm going to go with the iJDM toy because so far I haven't heard any complaints or problems about it. Hopefully I could just find a halogen bulb that will produce blue light, if not i'll have to go with these.

Nik_Ind

Well, i think Philips makes those too. Probably what you could do is that, you could order Philips Crystal Vision for your fogs and halogens and in that packing you have W5W bulbs too(i got 2 included), which are used in the eyelids. I mean thats the best way to get matching halogens in the beams, fogs, as well as the eyelids. But if you're ok with trying LEDs, i think you should seriously consider them. I'm loving the attention

I've had good luck with LED Technik eyelids from foryourlightsonly (http://www.foryourlightsonly.com/)

Nik_Ind

Those eyelids look pretty similar to the ones i have with iJDMs.

mat2hu

i can't really tell how well the fogs match up, but definitely the eyelid and low beams match up good.

misterng

Do you have pics of the LED before you installed to your car?

Tartan43

I should have thought of it, but no. You can ask Michael to send you a picture of the LED (order@foryourlightsonly.com).

Looks like I'll be purchasing a set of iJDM LEDs soon.

3 out of the 4 LEDs that I purchased from CTGilles second group buy are out of commission. Luckily I purchased exactly 3 LEDs off a member on here about a month later.

I haven't had the chance to replace them but I am hoping there's no damage. The housing itself doesn't have any burn marks so I guess the LEDs just kicked out after a few months.

I do have 2 LEDs sitting above my rear license plate that are still going good, but aren't as bright as I would like them to be. The iJDM LEDs look like they would provide more output.

They look great Nik! Yeah, mine were sort of blue at the start too, but they've adjusted themselves to a nice white now. I'd give it less than a week. Which probably already passed by now, but uhh, yeah. They look great! I actually got complimented the other day by another fellow W204 owner. Apparently he saw me driving around early in the mornings, and since my car is probably the only silver W204 in the area with clear side markers and white eyelids, he was able to spot me out. Now all I need are those 6000ks and fogs.

Nik_Ind

Haha! That's great! I too am waiting for my 6000Ks. Shall arrive on the 23rd of this month. I'm not happy with my Crystal vision fogs AT ALL!!! So i'll probably be disposing them off. Just gonna wait till my 6000Ks arrive, if they look fine: They'll stay. Otherwise, ADIOS! to the crystals.

Royce118

What's wrong with you crystal vision? Never heard anyone having problems with theirs on so far.

Nik_Ind

Actually the thing is that my high beams are much whiter than the fogs. It looks real weird. And somehow i'm unable to understand this because both of them have the same temp. which is 4300K
