Default White LED's for '11 Headlights.
Did any one take apart their '11 LED headlights and change the LED's to white LED's?

I think the LED's are '3528'. SOURCE Link

I WANT I WANT!!! Where can I buy this?

I'm not afraid anymore to rip open the 2011 headlights, because I got it opened couple of times, and the plastic cover got messed up. So I want to do this, and get the plastic cover professionally cleaned.

Awesome mod, looks great! Are you going to replace the crappy projector with something better like STI-r lens or complete projector retrofit? '11 headlights on my future mod list since I missed the Sewell sale.

That's awesome nice find! I took my Garax 6k bulb out and went back to oem because it didn't match the led. If i decide do this I'm going to swap projectors and get rid of the amber piece as well.

It was $1400 on Sewell but still doesnt cost 3k without the sale. Even if a LED blew out it can always be replaced no biggie.

On a side note the white LEDs looks amazing! I've always wondered if anyone attempted to change them lol.

Seems like people here got the impression that our LED strip is yellow, when in fact their super white.
