Polarg vs. PIAA LED
Just wanted to get some feedback as to which ones look better. The Polarg are the standard halogen bulb while the PIAA is an LED. I realize that the color is had to make out, but the PIAA is waaaaayyyyyy more blue then the Polarg. Both are 12 Volt bulbs.
This is a view of the Polarg (both the DRL & Side Markers)
This is a view of the PIAA LED (both the DRL & Side Markers)
Here is a front view with Polarg on the left (notice how bright the LEDs are)

I had the Polarg M-4 and M-6 in there. Looked yellow next to my 6000K Philips HID. So up changed them to LED bulbs.
I like the LEDs over the Polargs.....only complaint is that the LEDs are not "wide-angle" type.
Post night pics.
Btw....i notice you got a blue bulb in your DRL/high light (9005).....how does that look like during the day?

The Polarg are not really yellow, they have a blue tint, but nothing like the LEDs. Here's a night pic of the LEDs:
I do have Xenon bulbs in the high beams (supposed to be like 6000K), but during the day they are at half power so really no different from stock...maybe a little brighter, but not much.

Thanks for the pics....dang....that LED is pretty blue. I would get a ticket for sure here in Hawaii cuz it is similar to cop cars with blue dome lights.
So the Xenon 9005 at half power for your DRL looks yellowish in color? Even with a blue bulb?

Those are 6000K HID in both the headlight and fog. They are pretty blue...basically those LEDs have one White and Blue LED...but it comes out pretty damn blue. The Polarg look like this in comparison (a little blue, but not nearly as blue as the LEDs):

The bulbs are the one's located with the highbeams (9005), which also happen to be the same as the side markers. The 9005 was changed out to a blue bulb (Xenon 6000K-like bulb), but in reality nothing compares to the HIDs. Also, when you initially ignite the 6000K HIDs...they are a purple-ish, blue color, but as they warm up, they turn bright white.

I have the PIAA Leds in the front and side markers...They are white/blue bulbs but mainly the blue is much more powerful...I like the look however, Im gonna take out the side markers and change them to just a regular color so I can turn back on my fog lights...NOt that i couldn't turn them on before..but I feel like an odd off colored car riding down the streets with HID'S that dont match my PIAA bulbs then yellow fog's...
By the way nice pics... Just thought that I add a distance pic..of the PIAA sidebulb....
