Default 3GS Matching lights

Hi I want to swap the lights in the front to all matching but I don't know where to begin. Trying to find all white. Have anyone changed theirs? If you did please let me know or let me know the links to buy! I think the different lights look tacky

It can be tricky to get everything to match if you are having to rely on different technologies for the different lights. Your Low Beams should be D4S HID Bulbs from the factory, so you can try to find a colour you like there and see if you can find LEDs that are similar for High Beams/Fog Lights. You will not always be able to find the same options for all products, though, so sometimes you need to get something Close to what you are looking for. Most good LEDs are somewhere in the 5000K to 6000K range, so that might be a good range to look for in an HID first.

We have our Xtreme PRO 9005 Led Kits (High Beams) and 9006 LED Kits (Fog Lights) available in 5500K, which is a crisp white colour with no yellow or blue tone to it. They match reasonably well against 6000K HIDs, like the Philips D4S 6000K Ultinon Bulbs, for example, but there are lots of good options out there.

I have the same LED bulbs for my parking lights and they have a slight blue tint which does not match my HID headlights (which are 4400k I believe).

I have jdmtoy led turn signals for my rear with built in resistors but they say you can only use it for front or rear, not both. If I use the one in your description will it work? or if I get a normal led turn signal bulb and add separate resistors for the front will it be compatible for my rear and front?

i switched my flasher relay to LED flasher relay... so i don't need resistors. I have carmate LED in my rear turn signals. Flasher relay is the easiest fix for LED hyperflash.

for example

Amazon also offers a flasher relay where you can select the speed as well. From slow to hyperflash the choice is yours
