Get the white one because most of the time the ones that are "blue" in color turn out REALLY blue and annoying. So go w/ the white cause it usually will have a TINGE of blue which would match the 6k's quite nicely..

^^^ yes white led smt is better....the contrast will be close but it won't match perfectly...no matter what bulb type you use. The led will have a bright white but the hid will have a tinge of blue. So don't expect 100% match.

I have the white led parking leds, and they match the 6k bulbs from xenondepot nearly perfectly.

hehe dont confuse him with the 8k/5smt bleed matching , hes getting 6k lows therefore ~ i prefer the 13smt, cheeper and no noticeable difference in lite output with the 19. OH YEA dont get blue cuz its probablly illegal...
