Default LED's Anyone?

So finally i got my LEDs in the mail and it turns out i am missing my festoon bulb to go along with my other interior LEDs. I also bought an extra set for my parking lights and those things are bright as hell! So i snapped a few pics of the parking lights and i will get some interior shots up when i get my festoon bulb in.





Did i mention how bright these were?



Eh, more to come later and sorry for the grainy pictures.

All the led posts (especially the one's with exterior) are in lighting, but this can hang for a few.

I did think about that one OLT but i also thought now how are the guys that have an SC going to see this because i know they don't all check the lighting forums I am adding a few pics of the interior when i get my festoon bulb so maybe that can be my excuse

Actually they do. Half the posts are SC guys. (compared to all the different models on this site) YOU don't seem to check them based on your statement, but everyone else does. You put lighting in lighting, wheels and tires in wheels and tires, and audio in audio. It's that simple. Under your statement, why should someone put a post on the Nakamichi in audio, not every single member will see it. That's not how it works. In this instance, you are not posting about an Sc you are posting about an LED that is universal and works on most all models.

Like I say, this can sit here for a few.

the led's in the pics look pure white... do these white led's generate any blue hue? if not, then i'll buy some right now... i've bought at least 4 different kinds of led's and they all look bluish next to my 4100K HID's (which for some reason look slightly purplish from some angles) ((and i'm not refering to cutoff colors either)).... also, in case anyone is curious.. I use denso ballasts and phillips 4100K bulbs...

A higher quality option are Polarg bulbs, but they aren't cheap. They will however last for eons and are a very pure white. You can see pics of my polarg's doing a search.
