The ones from Kaizen are decent. The ones I have from MotoringMx are purple.

LED eyelids for 204s have been explored extensively and it's been found through tons of trial and error on this forum that all of the options out right now will not work without some sort of quirk. Basically what happens is there's actually a significant voltage shift in your eyelids when driving, which causes seemingly perfectly fine LEDs to shift Kelvin. Most pure white LEDs will start to look blue or even touching on 10K purple range. Worse, some have burned out and damaged the socket. Several forum members and I have contacted various sources and manufacturers and they were unaware of this issue, but still sell their LEDs marketed to 204 crowd as they work perfectly fine when they plug in to do a test.

Most just go for polargs, which aren't a perfect solution, but safe and consistent. However, I've just sourced a new LED and have been in communication with the manufacturer and engineers on a set that might prove promising from their spec sheet. I've requested several samples that I'll be testing out for the next few weeks and although I don't want to get my hopes up again, we'll see if this new batch works out well before recommending it to the forums and perhaps hosting another group buy.

I had the LEDs from iJdmToy.com. They looked great, but after a week I got an error message that one was out. Pul
Ed them out, and found they were burning/melting the sockets. Removed them all, and replaced the OEM bulbs. Either stick with what we got, or get a Piaa/Polarg/etc... Replacement. LEDs just won't last. They will do more damage than good

I have these sets on my C63. I bought 2 pairs for the eyelid. A pair for the side marker lights and a pair for the license plate. These LEDs are 6000K. If you decide to put these LEDs on your eyelid, it will turn blueish due to the cover. I also bought 6000K xenon bulbs from them to match everything. Total cost was around $250 and they gave me $20 dollars discount. They are very helpful and quick to respond to your question(s). So far I am happy with these LEDs and Xenon bulbs.
