Default HID & SIDELIGHT BULBS

Anyone know of sidelight bulbs that match 4300k Hid's ?

Just that Ive bought now 2 sets of led sidelights claiming they are ultra bright white. Both sets come out chavy blue, which I hate.

Mate, the same thing happened to me! My side lights claimed to be bright white, bought off Ebay as quad LED, they turned out to be blue. Took the blue ones out and had to ride with the originals that look yellow. Then got a pair of Prism ones from Halfords, super white there were called. Blue once again!

I am once more back with the yellow looking ones.

So my mains are super white, my sides are yellow and my fogs are a brighter yellow! HAve been trying to get them all one shade of white.

I think all of the white LED's I have tried tend to go blue.
My mate has some PIAA white LED's, and they actually are white. But they were about 35 odd quid.

I had the same problem but have solved it . You can get them from any vw garage part number n01775310 (they are blue bulbs but light up completly white ) They are out of a vw touareg.

Save your ££, the Vw bulbs come out yellow. Just like the standard ones, but brighter. Now £7 lighter, any other ideas out there ?

What about the PIAA ones I mentioned? They come from a local Carnoisseur shop.

I bought some blue normal filament bulbs that where advertised as ice white and they came out ok, only issue is they are not quite as bright as the standard bulbs, probably the blue coating causes this. but colour wise they look fine. I originally bought some quad led's off ebay and they where to blue for my liking.
