Default Need matching LED parking blub for 6500K lows

anybody know a good place to buy blubs that will match a xenon depot Xtreme 6500k conversion kit? i know the size is 168, but i want to get pretty close to the same color as the low beams

nuttin will match perfectly but if u want close i suggest u try vleds.com or go for the jdm ones. Polarg would be an example. ur hid will over power the leds. if u look at my avatar picture u wouldn't be able to tell i have blue city/park lights.

Default v-leds!

i recommend v-leds..fast shipping, great pricing (13 bucks for a pair)

11 SMT LED bulb: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

this bulb is really bright and burns at about 6500k..white with a lil bit of blue tint to it. check the pic i attached..this is it in a parking light on a 2005 tundra double cab..the way the lens is setup it diminishes the light a lil bit and his headlights are tinted reallllllyyy dark on the outside..when i had it out of the truck it was like a flashlight it was so bright..i highly recommend trying it out.

always buy SMT..its the newest technology and is more bright than a regular filament bulb as long as you have a good amount of SMT's on the bulb

Default new 194 1.5 watt LED bulb

this is the newest and brightest 194 out on the market. it will be wayyy brighter than any stock filament at this 194 size tho..1.5watt LED bulb..just an option if anyone wanted brighter than the 11SMT bulb.. i would argue the 11SMT is brighter than the stock filament as well.

but the thing is guys... you want them to match or for the parking lite to be more subdued than the hid bulb... therefore bigger 27/19 smts arent the way to go... UNLESS of course you LIKE the contrast...

weesped 9smt, me 11smt, both with 6k hid lowbeams. *hehe i lubz posting this pic *

a stock filament filament of this size is 3.78 watts..

link to sylvania (which i assume is the stock brand bulb): http://www.servicelighting.com/catal...m&prod=SL34761

the stats are all there for it..so 1.5 watts is just fine.
