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

I'm getting rid of my M6's because they're starting to look green compared to my 6000k's (even at non full working order -- btw, about to be fixed this week). I'm getting PIAA Super White LED's. It comes with two white LED's. My friend has some in his Accord and they look perfect next to the 6000k's -- they give off a whiteish purplish color.

Also, they take less wattage (big diff compared to M6's which suck too much) and they pretty much will last forever.

Off of eBay my friend

This auction is for ALL WHITE LED's. Some have white and blue combinations. It's not my auction, so hopefully this won't get deleted.

Item Number:
2417383467

Brendan -

Those LEDs look tight. Do they really match our 6000K color? Take a pic for us after you swap out your M6 with these LEDs.

Thank!

Pete

Looks pretty good - I may have to try a pair.

My only concern is that they look too big to fit through the opening for the wedge bulb.

Please keep us posted.

Yeah, they're two LED's and I have tried fitting my friend's in my car and it doesnt go in with "ease" but it goes in. No worries about fitting it in the hole (chuckle) -- it's getting it in the socket (chuckle again) that's "weird".

Cool - thanks for the info. When you receive them, could you take some side-by-side comparison shots with the M6? Especially of the socket fitting. Mucho Gracias. I hope the color matches the OEM HIDs.

EDIT: hmmm, another crap shoot with bulb color matching. I think that the Blue/White cololr combo might match teh OEM HIDs better, instead of the White/White.

BTW Ooptions Auto Salon has them for 16.50 + S/H

I love those guys.

Dex -- I tried popping in the blue/white combo that my friend has as well and oh my ... it looks PURE BLUE (instant ticket blue).


The white/white is whiteish/purple with no hint of yellow. I'll have pics

LED's didn't arrive today -- which means it has to come tomorrow.
I will post pics tomorrow night.

Also, my 6000k problem has been a nightmare for Jason -- he's been sending me parts back and forth. I thank him so much for helping me out through all of this. I ran into a little mishap with my ballasts where one side would light up more than the other (horrible feeling when I saw this happen). I got everything new but the bulbs right now to remedy my "yellowing" problem. The yellow is still there. It's apparent when I park in front of a white wall. There's BLUEISH/WHITE on top and 15% of the bottom light output is a line of yellow (no fogs are on btw).

My friend has a pair of 6000k's he got from Jason and I'm going to pop the bulbs in there tomorrow to see if it's the problem.

I hope you get them LEDs soon and post pics.

Hey...sorry to hear you got so much probs w/ your HIDs. But you know....we chose the right vendor - Jason (DiscountCycle)....very understanding....and tries to make things right.

I hope it gets resolved soon.

you said your M6's are looking green. is that because you've seen others and now think yours are green, or they actually are turning green? i've had mine in for 8 months or so and are good so far
