Just pulled the LED out and so far, looks good. Gonna give it another week of normal driving before I have any more confidence in it.

How are you going about testing the LEDs? Are you driving around with the parking lights on all the time?

basically. Figured more hours logged with them on would be a fair endurance test so have them on day and night.

Ok, took a few quick shots with my Nikon D90 so hope you can get a good idea. To my real life eye, they look white and should match up nicely to stock xenon up to 6000k. You can see the contrast from the sidemarker which are the 8000K blesk lights which aren't quite as blue/purple as that in live view, but gives you a decent comparison.






Although phranksmbz is right that the nature of the lens does cast a bluish tint, these LEDs output enough lumens to mostly negate that characteristic.

No flickering from what I've observed. Basically just waiting on completion of my endurance test. I'll take pics of the LEDs after a week+ of normal driving so you can see the condition of the LED. I haven't pulled them out yet so no idea what their state is currently lol. Probably by monday.

Looks promising.

I'm curious how much brighter they are than the polarg bulbs. Are they visible outside in the daylight? That would be the ultimate!

Definately would like to see what the socket looks like especially any heat issues. DO they go in the socket easy.

Thanks
