We unfortunately don't carry 8000k since switching to our v5.2a line as CREE doesn't make that color with their XBD chipset. We only have 5000k which is a pure brilliant white color.

By user request, we're working on a new product for those with painted sidemarkers and don't want any lights showing but also no error codes. This will be a circuit board design straight plug in replacement with no actual LED light source. We are in user testing right now, but hope to have it available sometime in Aug.

Hello, I was looking at your store page, and saw that you guys have a white 194 LED. I was wondering if it will work on my W204 C250 facelift front parking/standby lights(halogen headlights). Thank you. Also do you guys have any pictures of this being done before.

Yes it will, although if you're pairing it with stock halogens, it'll look horrible because the pure white LEDs will really highlight how sickly yellow the halogen low beams are. Would suggest also upgrading to HIDs for lows.

Hey,
I was actually thinking of pairing them with whiter halogen bulbs(Philips Crystal Vision Ultra or Diamond Vision) for both high and low beams to keep them within budget and legality in VA. Do you think they will be a good pair?

So Crystal visions are street legal, but still have a fair amount of yellow... Not as bad as stock though, but basically difference between a pig and a pig with lipstick. Diamond Visions are a fair match, but it's not street legal, rated for off road use due to lower brightness brought upon by the blue film they use to get the whiteness color. They'll be fine if you live in fairly well lit areas, but you'll have problems in rural and rain situations.

Will the said HIDs have high glare with the normal non-xenon housing? Do they work better with the DEPO projectors (ive heard those are as bad with HIDs as the stock reflectors)?

Xenon projectors will always be better. There will be a bit of glare, but the issue is a bit overblown on modern housing. Back in the days when the whole housing was a giant reflector causing this giant glob of light, yeah, glare was a problem. But newer halogen housing are smaller and you don't get that giant light causing glare.
