LEDS that match HID lights?

I'm looking for some WHITE LEDS to put in the clearance strip and side marker for my car that would match or at least come close to the same color as the stock HID lights. Anyone know of some good WHITE LEDS on EBAY? The ones I bought claimed to be WHITE, but when I put them in they were a BLUE color.

Thanks

You can check out www.v-leds.com for just about any LED bulb you would need. Unless you find a site that gives the color temperature of the LED bulb it will be impossible to "match" them to your HID bulbs. Even then it may not be perfect since the light sources are generated in different ways.

Yeah I was thinking of buying some from that site since the bulbs I got look too blue but I'm thinking its because the hid is only 4300k I'd probably have to change my lowbeams to 6000k bulbs to get a better match..... Anyone recommend some good replacement 6000k bulbs?

Are those and other bulbs simply just plug and play or do you need a balsat or anything to make it compatible with the stock hid system?

They are plug and play. The stock ballasts will work.

I bought the Lexus polarg 6000k LED bulbs from jdiem, they are the brightest, and closest to match my 6000K hid's. they are pretty pricey though over $35 a pair but they retail for $79.00
