My LEDs are also more blue than 6000K. You can especially tell off the reflection off of the rear of say a white car. Definitely not as blue as 8500K though.

Hmm...I wonder if those LED's would melt my plastic housing on the CL Roadlamps?

I put Polarg M6's in there for now but they basically suck.

They are a joke but you can't do much with "puny" plastic housing.

I would love to put something brighter in there.





Do you think those switchback LED's would work?

Yeah I looked at these before but I can't remember what the hang up was...

I think I should swap these out and give them a shot.

Thanks.

Oh...

Ive got the 6500k kit on the top.

Any recommendations for the LED's?

Probably whichever one is the whitest because they wouldn't have something matching my kit.

Dude...what are you smoking?

What does that have anything to do with westhaventl's thread?

Probably should look in the Acurazine Clubs & Meets forum.

I have conveniently provided you the link HERE.
