What is the best bulb for clearance light?

Hi,
i made ALOT of research here and also bought 2 HID WHITE 6 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2825 form V-LED but they do not match my headlights, the are too bluish for the xenonx. i think i have oem xenons (I bought the car used from a non-infiniti dealer but one xenon was burned and he replaced it but i don't know what bulb he bought. is there any way that i can figure that out?).
those vled bulbs are not bright enough. you cant see them during the day nor they fill the hole clearance light at night.
did anyone experience a great REAL WHITE, not blue, bulb which fills all the clearance light and match closely with the OEM xenons?
Thanks.

just took some picture tonight of the leds i have now + the clear corners, eh my cam is OK so ull have 2 take more of my word for it..


the city light is honestly a very nice blue towards purple color.. it looks really great.. so while i didnt match it with my projectors or wutvea they r called... the city lights hold their own.. pretty interesting wish the pictures could capture how nice they look imo

this is the best picture i see that shows off how bright these leds are
not very.. lol but yet still a nice look imo

they look a little closer to purple in person


here is a picture with the projectors on.. pretty much all the lights on


again the picture shows that the leds are more blue, but they r not in person


here is a picture with the clear corners

seems like the clear corners are whiter in person.. haha



this is the led for the clear corners
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481


these are leds that i have for my city lights
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481



its weird that the led i use for my clear corners is rated at 8000-9000k which should be closer to purple... lol i ono they are crazy but theres the basic setup.. play around with them.. ill show you picture of the new ones i ordered once they come in




by the way the city lights.. you cant see them in the daytime.. just when night.. damn 20 lumins

thanks alot for the pictures and for your time taking the pictures and explaining here to me.
i am really curious about the ones u have ordered. Today i was looking at those ones too.
how long does it take for you to recieve stuff from vleds?
maybe you can post pictures with the new ones as well?
i hope they are alot more brighter.
i have leds in my clearance light that i got from vleds, they are not bright at all, you cannot see them during the day.
thanks again and waiting for the news from you again

http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481
but i have to warn you, they are SOO bright at night haha



as for the high power leds, in the city lights.. it wusnt THAT big of an improvement...
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481


just be careful when u take out the other leds.. they might fall into the headlight housing..haha but id would def suggest the dome lights.. those are a nice addition

i was so hoping that the city light bulbs would be whiter and alot brighter with those and you say its not a big difference... dissapointing
well why cant they make real white leds i dont understand anything they say white is not white on the clearance strips and never fills the hole thing.
i will have to keep searching i guess..
thank you for the info.
