Most LED are blue compare to the stock HID. You need to get a lower Kelvin LED or a warm white color. Almost some LED will burn out in that hosuing due to the heat from the DRL. I had the Polarg tinted bulb in there and it matches the stock HID pretty good.

as you can see from my previous posts and i've tested about 3 LED too to try to match, in the end, I just simply gave up, I doubt you'll find anything that will match perfectly.

I went with the contrasting colors city lights with matching low/fog HID

Autolumination - 194 Oval Leds Bulbs - $2.49 each, I bought the cheapest one on there to test the color



On with my xenondepot 6000k D4S - probably works better with 8000k

Try VLEDS.COM I hate bluewish type bulbs and have a very good success with their LED bulbs. They will not match perfectly with HID lights but will come close. Buy the 5k color and I think you will be very pleased.

I have bought from them the whole set up

For Wedge Bulbs

Fog Lights

Also I have put high power turn signal LEDs and reverse lights.

It's wintertime and lot of dirty snow melted off my car last week......

I've tried two different types of led bulbs (same color) but they did not properly illuminate the housing so I went back to my Polarg M6's.

That's what I have. They're a bit dim and a bright blue bulb is more prominent in the upper housing. Doesn't illuminate as well as the stock one.

Garax 6000k HIDs. ijdmtoy "white xenon" LED wedge bulbs, fogs and DRLs. I have the mod on the DRLs so the LEDs are at 100% during the day. No hi beams.
