Does anyone know what the color temp on these is?
I have a set I am planning to install when updating my headlights and am now considering a used MY2011 set. One of the nitpicky concerns I have is that the LED fog and LED strip on the headlights won't be close enough in color. I'm assuming the LED fogs would be a match for the LEDs on the 2014 headlights.
My understanding is the LED strip on the 2011 lights is 5000k while 2012+ is 6000k. I'm not sure if this is official or if it was just someones guess. I've seen pics comparing and while some look minor, others look drastic.

Thanks. So I'm guessing the difference between LED fogs and the strip on the 12+ will be not exact but hardly noticeable while the difference 11 LED strip would look a bit off? Or am I taking the OCD a bit too far here?

I upgraded my 2012 fog to LED and they're seem to be abit whiter then my 2012 led daylight strips. My problem now is them oem headlights look like regular halogen bulbs compare to these. Anyone have any idea which headlight bulb color and brand should i get to match them? On the side note, i love that color on the new corolla. It looks a bit bluish at a certain angle. Thanks in advance.

I recomend you to get something like Morimoto 5500k or Osram 5500k. They are pretty affordable. I have Garax 6000k and they have proven to last for a long time. They are just a bit whiter than the LED strip though

Are your bulbs stock? The color difference doesn't look bad in this pic.
I don't remember what they look like normally since I went the horrible route of tinting them.

Here is my car with 12 LED full brightness, LED fogs, 6000K Garax HID. I think the fogs and 6000k LED are close. The 12 LED are just a bit less blueish, even less in person. I don't think the camera really captured the true color of the LED strips. It's not that white.
