I've noticed the samething. I think I'm sorta "anit-blue tint" so it's kinda buggin but I'm going to give it a go for now. At least I don't see the blue tint when the HID's are off. But these do make the polarg bulbs look yellowish!

I got mine in today. Just for reference I have stock Bi-Xenons, Philips Crystal Visions in the fogs. I took some pictures of the setup with the new LEDs and also with the Polargs for your reference.

New LEDs in eyelids:







Polargs:







Over exposure:









The pictures make the LEDs look a bit bluer than they are but they do match well to an extent... The camera was set to automatic on white balance, exposure etc etc, but I was really too tired to try and tweek them completely.

I'm going with them for now and see how I feel about them. They are definately brighter than the Polargs, but probably not as good a match with stock Bi-Xenons, although still quite good - I don't mind a bit of blue. I have higher resolutions in case any of you want them.

Thank you Mike, for all your work on these. Really appreciated.

PS, Car is all shiney shiney after a good wash! Reflections babehhh!

Yeah, I don't know why, but that's what happened pretty much the last two group buys I held....Canadian customs held the packages for 1-2 weeks. You canucks need to hire more customs workers or something lol.

Vic. Glad to see you got yours and passed your scrutiny. Report back on how they hold up though. That's the main test from everyone that I'm interested in.

I'd like to see pics of those who used them for their front bumper markers.
There was some debate whether the bulb was too long or not.

Are 6500K HIDs the stock bulbs?

Is this the same case for you as well?
Thanks
