Recently changes flank V-LEDs bulbs to these one - 5K-WHITE-SMT-X5
I like them more then flank bulbs, cuz they have more viewing angle, and have 1 LED shining forward. (much better look in day time!)
So from now on I recommend them instead of flank bulbs

The difference in brightness is not well noticeable.
I bought them with flank bulbs long time ago. For me better (time and money) to get them all at once than one by one.

I recently put back original Philips in low beams, so I have some pics. There are several pics I'll post to show how it matches the low beams.

Thanks. Looks like the parking lights have a slight blue to it compared to the 4300k oem hids. Is this so in person? How did it match when you had the 5k low beams? I've been waiting for v-led to restock their products and even emailed them with no luck.

White VS Amber (5000K VS 3000K):

RIGHT - VLEDS AMBER FLANK BULBS

LEFT - VLEDS WHITE FLANK BULBS
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...25900-1-2.html
The bulbs are the same. The difference in color temperature (left 5000K, right 3000K) and in luminous intensity (left - 80 lm ; right - 40 lm).
Amber not so good for parking lights. Imho
Flank Bulbs VS Radial Firing LED Bulbs (5000K):

RIGHT - Total Luminous Intensity: 50 lm Viewing Angle: 300
You can see that flank bulbs looks more BLUE then "X5 Bulbs".
So I decided to use X5 bulbs. They better match stock low beams then amber or flank white bulbs.
* This is all about how they match the stock headligths.
* If you have GARAX 6000K, they (VLEDS 5000K) should perfectly match!
Only "X5" VLEDS Bulbs

Thanks for the vids. So in the first vid, you have 5k low beams? Will the flank bulbs better match 5k low beams? Also, what is needed for the hid fogs besides the ballasts and the bulbs?

All three vids are made with stock Philips 4300K in low beams.
You can find HIDs with 4300K or 5000K on EBay.

I don't know why low beams look more blue then fog lights.
VLEDS 5000K - perfect match with Garax 6000K

5000K - pure white if compare with 6000K
