they're kinda green but the color isn't even close in my opinion...I'm going back the M4's as I sold the J51's. They still look the best to me.

i read ALL 15 pages and learned alot! The ones suggested at $6.50 were nice. I guess Polarg M4 off ebay would do the job for me.

After going through so many bulbs, I went back to what I initially had..and that is the M4s.

I wish I had something to match my projectors.

im in your shoe. i can't find any bulbs that are pure white to match. the m4's gives a blueish hue. im using some piaa superwhite but again, it has some blue in it.

I've seen the write-ups on CL, I've seen them in person on Kofi's GS and in talking with JP at SSN this past Friday, I decided to jump the gun and try them myself.

Write up to come but I LOVE the results. No more dull yellow hue from the OEM halogens. The LEDs look so much better and like the 2006 GS/IS :whaasup:

Write-up to come soon.

I got the PIAAs at NOPI for $20

I don't really mean to be hatin', but I also tried yellow bulbs in the parking lights, in Ion Yellow to match the fogs and side markers, and I thought the yellow looked so gad-dang awful that I couldn't yank them out fast enough.

There was a GS recently at the auto-bacs meet with yellowish gold in the wedge. Honestly, a part of me thought it was ok, but the other part didnt like it. I think I am going to try the 1w led's and see how they turn out. I will take pictures with them.

I just got Polarg J51 and installed one of them in my Land Cruiser to see how they compared to my PIAA Super Teras. Here is the difference...
Polarg on the left, PIAAs on the right.
The PIAAs are much brighter.

I just tried out those 1 watt LED's.

well....I tried

They are more blue then the M4's. I don't think I will ever get LED's since they always have a blue'ish look. I took them out immediatly. Stupid me bought more then one set too.
Gsteg wins, I think that the M4's are the best match by far. I will say though, that the 1 Watt's put out at least twice as much light.

IMO, I think they would match like a 5000k or a 6000k HID set up. They dont match my HIR's at all and they won't match a 4300K kit. I need to take the ones out of my side markers tomorrow when there is light outside.

I will post pictures up later.

The 1 watt LEDs look the best in the license plate lights IMO. I tried them everywhere else and they're no good because they don't spread. I'm sure some members around here want them for the plate lights anyway. I have 6000k and LED's don't match very well. 6000k has a tint of purple that is really hard to match. Brian (dangbt) was the one with the yellow wedge bulbs. I like that look too but I'm going to do something special with mine.

Wow....im back....for now at least.

So what kind of wedge bulb is everyone using in their inner front lights (next to high beams)?

Post up pics of the bulb/led and how it looks like from afar....if possible.
