Right, 4300k is best for visibility, 6k is white with a hint of blue, 8k is blue, anything over 10k is just rice and very poor road visibility.

Here's mine with factory 4300k low beam (still havent changed to 6k), 6k fogs and 5-6k leds.

I've always liked the color of 6k, anything higher just looks kinda ricey IMO.

Yea I'm gonna pick up some D2S Philips 6k asap. I was going to many months ago then read its a PITA to do the passenger side. I hate trying to squeeze in the tough spaces for the lights. The leds are like 5500 or something, cant recall. You need the leds! Only like $25 and no errors.

Noice.
My license plate led's I got to work upside down. Took 2 sets. I dont see the point of having your license plate more visible to the 5-0.

Haha, good point, but every time I see led license plate bulbs, I can't stop staring.

Those new lexus plate bulbs are very nice looking, but very expensive.. Some of these plate leds are just overkill and the only mod on the car
