City Light Replacement LED

For those of you that replaced your City Light bulb with an LED, (it's the small bulb directly above your projector) which LED did you go with? Links please?

I'm looking to replace mine with one that matches the white color of the stock HID setup. The Stage 2 LEDs that I purchased from Diode Dynamics has a semi-blueish tint to it that is driving me insane

You should check out V-LEDs or Superbright LEDs. I am going with V-LEDs but have a question for those who have tried V-LEDs:

Did you go with the 10 LED or the 6 LED? I am not sure if the 10 LED will fit width of length wise. Any insight?

Thanks. I actually ended up going with V-LEDs.

I bought the 6 LED (standard, not CAN-Bus for those looking to buy) since the 10 LED was sold out. I called V-LEDs to find out when the 10 LED would be in stock and they said 3-4 weeks. I didn't feel like waiting that long.

Link to the one I bought: http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...25-1-pair.html

After the headlights warm up the white LEDs match perfectly. No fitment issues either.

Hope that helps!

Pictures would help a lot. Close up shots of the side slit in the city light projector would be nice too. I was waiting on the 10 LED version but your pics may steer me otherwise. The front blinkers and reverse bulbs are also out of stock so I have to place a second order either way. I did my interior with the 6 led can bus, 6 led non can bus in the doors, and a glovebox light. Did a custom 2 puck set up in the trunk, and the 6 LEDs in the rear plate. All LEDs are in 5k. I still need to pluck open the visors to figure out what is in there. The interior crazy bright! I was worried about the plate being too bright but it looks perfect.

Nice! Those look great! I will be ordering some of those when the other stuff is in stock. They will run with less heat than the 10 LED version so they will last longer too. I appreciate the angles. I need to write up my trunk install. It came out great and took all of 10 mins. That will be a new thread though.
