Blueish eyelid lights

I have replaced my stock bi-xenon bulbs with 6000k bulbs and got some ctgilles LEDs from a member on here, but they are extremely purple. Are there any eyelid lights that are a bluish-white or even blue (not purple at all) to match my lights?

CTgilles LED's weren't purple... the first GB was purple. Try ijdm, I've heard good reviews about their leds and might pick up a set as backup incase mine go out.

I have tried polars and they are garbage. They aren't bright at all and they were grey coloured. Maybe I bought the wrong type of polargs?

I've been using my Polargs for half a year now, and they are still nice and blue tinted color. you could have bought the wrong ones...

These are the ones i bought:

I like my polargs as well. Do you think the 6000k will match it?

Because I have experience with both, polargs are considered garbage when placed next to HID bulbs 6000k or higher. For bi-xenons i don't know. My friend bought iJDMs and they still had a purplish tint to it when i tried them in my housing.

I currently have 8000k HID's and polargs for my eyelids, and the color difference is the same as a W204 with bi-xenons and stock eyelid bulbs. and the iJDM bulbs are BRIGHT!!! (and expensive) its gonna cost you $60 just for eyelid bulbs if you decide to purchase the iJDM ones but i guess it'll be worth it.

Royce, the polargs match with your phillips bulbs because you are just using bulbs and not an actual HID kit. I had EuroEFX bulbs for my lowbeams instead of the stock ones and used polargs, and they matched perfectly. But the output of the bulbs were garbage and stock bulbs produced more lighting.


Are there any other companies we could try out?? Any1 here use V-LEDs???

I got what you meant. The OP didn't state that the light he is looking for has to be bright. I thought he was more interested in a colour match than the ones which actually looks brighter. I agree with you that output are garbage but they are just eyelid bulbs. Don't see a point for them to be that bright.

No(body's) eyelids should outshine the eyes. IMO, the eyelids should give off less intense lights so that from a distance it doesn't look like the car simply has strangely shaped headlights.

I'm not sure I follow. Does this mean the 8000k HID match the polargs? If not, what HID low beams are people recommending for polarg matching? I am looking for something much brighter now that i have lamin-x installed.

Closest match you can get is 4300k for the HID low beams.
