Switched from LED Eyelids to Polarg!

Earlier I purchased iJDMToy's LED Eyelid lights. They didn't look as white as I wanted them to. They were quite blue. After reading that they burn the socket, I quickly ordered a pair of Polarg M4's from Ebay.

The polargs are not much different from stock. They have a hint of blue but not bright enough. Overall, I am satisfied that they are blue but not bright enough.

I have seen a couple of c63's, their eyelids are a lot brighter. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Would anyone know of Eyelid lights that are bright and a bit blue???

The 4th pic is the comparison of the LEDs and Polarg M4's. (LED on the left and Polarg on the right)

the 5th and 6th are the polargs

Are the colors a little off? My stock eyelids aren't even that yellow, and I've seen pictures of polargs that are more of a pure white and even blue in some pictures.

But very nice comparison!

Yea there isn't much of a difference. I have seen others with the Polargs and they do look whiter. Maybe its just mine!

I have the same LEDs and mine are nowhere near blue. I've checked up on mine weekly, and they seem fine. I might try to take the heat problem into my own hands later if it comes to it, but I can always go out and buy polarGs if needed. Camera's seem to botch the color on certain settings. Here are two pictures from the same camera.


First one, clearly shows that the LEDs are quite blue, and that the PolarG's are quite white. I would have to call this color an exaggeration of what it really is.


This next one is on different settings, and seems to show the colors of the LED and PolarG's without all the colors becoming griomnzgkridfh-ey. Although, I'll admit, the LEDs may be a tad bluer than what my second picture shows.

I think that I may move back to LED eyelids soon too. I'm rather worried about my sockets and such...but I don't drive with them on that much, and I don't drive at night a lot either, so they seem to be holding up fine.

I don't think so. Everyone has been wanting something like that but I don't see anyone making anything good.

Mine look the same. The LED look exactly like that but the camera didn't show it. Same for the Polargs. Mine look exactly the same. They are white but not at all bright!
