Default new interior lights and headlights

I wanted more of a white look for my lights so I just changed out my front dome lights, middle dome lights, rear dome light, and headlights.

For the headlights i used GAE H11 8000k Super Blue White Bulbs (a little too blue)

For the interior lights i used Polarg:

Front dome lights = M-26

middle dome lights = M-28

Rear dome lights = M-28 (did not fit well)

Here are some before and after pictures:

Those 8000K headlights are heavily tinted, from the look of the pictures, the light output is not that good?

purplehazek4,
the interior did not get darker it actually got much brighter at night. it looks dark in the picture because i was trying to show the difference between the yellow and white look of the light

One thing that bugged me was that the front domes were perfectly white while the middle domes are somewhat yellowish and not as white as the front ones even though they were the same brand and brightness

G man,
The lights look nice and all but your correct light output is horrible and they are a little too blue. I plan to get anywhere from 4000-5000k new ones. luckly those 8000k bulbs were only 10$ on ebay

Will

I tried the LED lights on the interior, they were white, but too much glare.
