I just bought brand new OSRAM XENARC 4300k for my GS 430. They are BRIGHT WHITE! Anyone knows which 194 type that would light up the whole housing without creating a hot spot? And will match color white with the stock xenons?

 

Please help a pal out...

 

vleds have some nice wedge bulbs. Ill see if I can find the link to the ones I ordered. If you look further down in this lighting forum jacksonvp did a great writeup with great pics of what he used for the wedge bulbs from vleds, I went with the same ones.

 

I did buy the ones from V-LEDS. I bought the 2 watts White 4-LEDS and they look blue and doesn't match with my stock xenons.

 

damn I guess I wasted my money, I thought they would be more white. Guess I will have to wait until I install my 5000k hid to see if they match ok or not.

 

Yes they will. I did not like the lighting output on the 5000k. The hue is blue-ish which weakens my eyes. So I switched back to OSRAM 4300k. Now the problem is matching with the inner lights.

 

Still need help... anyone knows who sales color "white" wedge bulbs?

 

I'm looking for the exact same thing.. it just doesn't look like a decent set is out there that'd come close to the OEM HIDs. I also passed on the V-LED "white" ones cause I'm really not a fan of the blue hue those 6500k wedge bulbs give off. the closest thing I've found so far is made by Hoen (I got their fog xenonmatch bulbs that are 4100k and match my 4300k HIDs almost perfectly and come highly recommended) and they call them "W5W city lights" and also run at 4100k. but sad to say, I e-mailed them just to make sure the higher surface temp these bulbs give off was safe for my IS250, and they replied back saying in testing, these bulbs on lexus models were causing a bunch of problems. I mean at least they were honest about it, but was really disappointed haha. they're supposed to send me an update via e-mail if/when they correct the problem or make new bulbs. =(

just for kicks, here's the Hoen link..

I put Polarg M4 lights in my GS and they are pretty white and look good, they have a very slight blue tint but do look mostly white and better then the dull yellow amber stock color but they do not really look any brighter then stock, just white instead of dull yellow. The bulbs have blue glass but look mostly white when lit. They were pretty inexpensive too, only cost 6.95+3.95sh.

 

Polarg M4... I have heard of those lights but don't they run hot? Are they durable? Where is the best place to get them ?

 

i just got mine in today but dont really match stock hid. UDel got it for cheap cause i got mine for like $13 with shipping.
heres a link to some pics

I just bought them today, waiting for it to be shipped. Will post the outcome.

 

I went the e-Bay route to get mine but the bulbs I have are the M6's. The bulbs do a great job to illuminate the housing. I tried three different types of LED bulbs and surprisingly they didn't look as good as the M6 bulbs.

 

WOW. Becareful! Those runs really HOT! The wattage on those is 12-18 watts. I think the M4 would be safe because it only uses 5w like OEM.

 

I've had them for well over a year with no issues at all
