You know, funny that you mention it, I've really been considering doing that, but I'm looking for something that's pure white that won't clash with my 6000k HIDS. The ones I saw posted so far are a different hue of white and it throws it off a bit for me. Any suggestions?

My other experience with LEDs in the headlight housing is that they don't last very long from all the heat that the HIDS produce. I used to have a 350z with white led lights in the headlights and they would last a couple of months before burning out from all the heat. Any quality ones that can handle the heat?

I got the 6k hid's in my fogs and they are a little bluer than the Phillips 6k hid headlights, but shining on the wall they are the same hue. I guess its the projection bulbs.

I ordered the HIDS from DDMtuning.com, the rest of the leds I ordered through iJDMtoy. I've had pretty good luck with the HIDS from DDM, I had them on a G37 coupe I used to own, and the fogs and headlights matched perfectly, so I'm hoping for the same experience this time.

My LED's arrived! Super fast shipping! I ordered on thursday afternoon and today they were already at my door, even with the 4th of July holiday yesterday! Not pictured are the door lights and vanity lights, totally worth the money it really provides a nice clean light!

The last pic is with the light not fully in place, it was just temporarily set there for a pic. It was a little more difficult to fit in because its cut to fit very flush in there. Everything was plug and play!
