I'm Tired of Polarg M6's ...

OK guys - here's the scoop. 1 LED is in, and boy, can I tell a difference between the new light output of the LED vs. the Polarg.
I really like these new PIAAs
I plan on leaving just 1 in until I can take some pics later this evening for comparison. It is noticable during the daytime.
The Polarg M6 just looks tarnished; even some 'bulbing' see the pic below, just out of my socket.
I'll be drawing up a page with comparision pics later this weekend.
Old Polarg - A year old? Well it was good while it lasted.

Just got my new pair in today as well Also after having my HID kit taking a lot of space (wiring) on the driver's side headlight i ran into some trouble getting my M6 out ... well, long story short -- it fell into the HOUSING! Got it out but my hand is badly bruised.
Also wrapped tape around the PIAA LED and the connector b.c i did not want it to fall out (paranoid ... this happened last time) -- pics coming tonight!!

Dex / Brendan -
Looking forward to your pics....can you get an up-close pic of the LED bulb too ("OFF" position)? And of course in the "ON" position comparison to your HIDs.
Also...how much did each pair cost you (+ S/H)?
Thanks!
Pete

New LED is on the left!
As previously mentioned, they are not as bright, but the color is dead on. They are not dim.
I need to take some more pics tonight with a tripod.

Looks like a good match. Are your low-beams 6000K HID? My 6000K HIDs puts out a slight purple color. Yours look more blue than purple in the pics. Maybe something wrong w/ my monitor.
Again....how many "George Washington's" did you give up for these PIAAs? How does these LEDs look like?
Still looking for white w/ slight purple LED match for my 6000K HIDs.
Looking at putting my Polarg M6 in my reverse lights.

Match PERFECTLY with 6000k's. I had the same problem with mine Dex a couple times. I ended up putting tape around the LED and the socket to keep the LED from falling out again. My friend took the pics with his camera and I'm waiting for him to send them to me. They look great.

- about $20
- they look great
They have a Blue/White color as well (I got White/White), but Brendan told me he'd seen them and they were too blue.

Yah...those LEDs matches your OEM HIDs nicely. Are those the PIAAs that Brendan spoke about? Now you gotta get some for your side markets (if clear) and license plate. Move them M6 into your reverse lights.
Im still looking for matching LEDs that match 6000K HIDs.

Here they are at Options Auto Salon
The Blue/White would likely match the 6Ks though - they have those too

Blue/white would not at all. It's so blue -- it's hard to explain. You know the color of eBay's links? That's how blue it is. It's PURE BLUE. Ricerish -- not nice ;(

I guess the White/Whites are a great blended match
