Anyone used purple LED's?
 
I'm trying to find wedge bulbs to match 6000k HID's from mobilehid in my 2GS. I started with Polarg M4's which I didn't like, not that bright just kind of dingy looking. I used some "white" SMD 5-LED's from warden_jp which were much brighter but had a definate blue tinge to them while the headlights and fogs are a little more purplish.

I just saw warden's got a LED similar to the one I tried except in "UV purple", I'm thinking these might be worth a shot but I don't want them to be really ricey purple, just a little purple tint would be perfect. Anyone used them or something similar?

the UV bulbs are extremely dim - they are on the very lower edge of the visible color spectrum, so they do not show up very well at all...

Thanks mitsu, I'm kinda doubting I can match these HID's, I might end up just pulling the wedge bulbs. Either that or using a different temp or brand HID bulb cuz I'm probably doing a retrofit soon, might switch up the fogs too.

They didn't look like the black light sort of thing though, here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-...spagenameZWDVW The blueish ones I have with the same LED layout are very bright. I've got them on my license plate right now and they light up the ground behind the car.

i have not used that exact one before, but the led's I have used were I'd say 1/5 the intensity of a normal blue led for the same size/rating...
