Vleds vs. Sylvania LED's

Hey all just wanted to get opinions on some interior LEDs for my TL. I bought some cheap EBay ones and am really not happy with them as they are more blue than the white OEM look I wanted. So which should I buy to get a pure white LED appearance? I have heard that the Vled 5k ones would be good, but also heard that the Sylvania LED's are the way to go for that true OEM look. Both pretty much cost the same so which would you guys choose? Pics would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Sylvania LED bulbs are rated at 6000K. They will appear more "white" compared to those eBay LEDs you bought but will also have a slight hue of blue to them. Not as much as the eBay ones but the blue will still be there.

Now VLEDs 5000K bulbs are just that. Pure neutral white. No yellowness and no blue hue/tinge. Pure crisp clean white.

I vote VLEDs 5000K. I see that they are $20/pair now which is pretty expensive. Not long ago, about a year, they offered some that were $7-$15 for a pair.

Looks like they are only offering their biggest and brightest bulbs now which run for $20/pair.

Might be a bit overkill.

It will definitely be brighter and more pure white than same priced Sylvanias though.

By the way this doesn't really fall into the "performance modifications" category.

I used VLED ones. They still have variations in colors but not as bad as eBay ones. Passengers don't notice a thing, and they just say "why is your interior light so bright?"
