Question **HELP with Parkling Light match to Cliffuds D4S Bulbs***

Just a quick question for you guys...

I've been using the infamous "Cliffuds" 6k D4S bulbs for my lowbeams, but have been having a hard time with finding a match for parking light LED. Which ones are you guy's running with these?

Any successful matches?

Show me what you GOT!

Honestly your not gonna find a perfect match BUT running 6k bulbs make it easier. While many ppl recomend polargs, i find them overpriced but NOT overrated. The best bang for the buck imo are Vleds, these HERE are the best for price and performance.

I am llamaboiz and i approve this message.

Oh LOL I got confused on JoeZ's post where he included a pic of the DRL haha

Hey ExclusivIS do you have a pic of your 6000k? From a couple of different views? I've been contemplating on 6k bulbs for the longest time but will no pull the trigger cause of output. If you can too take a pic from the drivers POV inside the car, thanks!

there is alot of misconception on the 'output' subject, just remember, even 8k bulbs which put out less than 4.3k/6k still put out more lumens than h11 halogens. Just go with 6k and you wont be disappointed.

Maybe I'll order the set of these and try them out...Only thing you have to keep in mind about the D4S bulbs I am running is that they have a purplish hue...which like many already said may be hard to replicate exactly.

its never gonna match perfectly unless you use TRUE 6k bulbs. I've recently installed 6k d4s from JDMtoy and they are really crystal white, my 11smt bulbs match perfectly. Weesped also has new 6k d4s from XD but i havent remembered to 'look hard' at his... umm... matchyness
