Default Matching my bottom LED's.

Right now running 6k hid's and 5k parking lights from vled.

What color temp do you guys think this color is? It was labeled as xenon white but they seem blu-ish to me. Im about to place an order from Xenon Depot for 8k hid.

Judging by the purplish look, it's probably about the 8k or 10k temp range. And since your headlights are 6k, it's definitely not that.

Most the ones I've seen looks cheap imo which forced me to buy the 2012s. Sewell has a sale right now for CL members. 1300 for a stripped set and 1800 for fully loaded

what do you guys think about me getting the 8k kit? Already ordered it from XenonDepot and I just hope the 8k kit won't be too bright that the strips wont show. Yes they are led strips
