licenses plate led bulbs

I order 2 supernova led bulbs for licenses plate in super white. one bulb was super white and other was kind yellowish so I email the autolunination told them the problem. they say they will refund me for the bulb. so I said I want to order 2 more bulbs so I have replacement before I sent it back. I receive 2 new bulbs on friday and put them on yesterday and 1 bulb was same color like the one I had problem with from first order and other one was good. I wonder if anyone else had problem with theses supernova bulbs.

are there better licenses plate bulbs then supernova in future now I matched them same color but I will send 2 bulbs back for refund

if you look closely, all the supernova leds have yellowish output on the outter edges.
i've indicated this problem with them as well, they just sent me back a long email with explanation of how each leds have different temperature and etc....
they do have a nice white output if you look directly at them, but if you aim it sideway on a white piece of paper, you'll see the yellowish output on the very outter edge.

i didn't bother with exchange or refund, I sold all the supernova already locally.

oh just for your info, double check your connection, push them in all the way and test them before you put them back in.

I had this same exact problem with the supernovas. One was a warm white output and the other was a cool white. I also sent them an email and they suggested that I buy another pair and match them...

Interesting...I recently installed the superlumination 194's in the license plate lighting spot on my TL and they seem to match each other fine and are definitely a BRIGHT white. Bad batch?
