Mine look very similar to the new Lexus lights - they are High Power white LEDs from VLEDS.com, and the bulb code is 194. I'd highly recommend them.

These are what I have:

...you can search on the site and find pictures of members who have these lights, but pictures won't do them justice.

They're very white with a slight hint of blue. Very clean looking and not at all ricey.

Not all bulbs are created equal - just do a search on this site and you will see many members have tried all kinds of LEDs until they ultimately decided on a certain type - by and large the VLEDs from what I have seen.

I'd rather pay a few extra dollars, receive my bulbs in 3-5 business days, and have the peace of mind knowing many others have been pleased with the product.

I've gone through tons of different LED bulbs in search for a bright white light. Nothing beats a CCFL tube, and it's cheap too.
