if you want to match 8k then you DONT want the brightest led, you want the weakest led, the weak led will allow 'bleeding', if you go with a 'bright' led it wont match.

Well my pics are fairly crappy (phone pics) but I have the 8000K XD HIDS, V-LEDS 27 LED SMT city lights, and plasmaglow platinum fogs. The match is actually quite a bit better in real life.







This is the stocks for a comparison:
