got my LED's - SRT Forums

What a total waste of 38$ bucks.

So, I wanted something super white that I would match my headlights.

I bought some side marker super white led from www.autolumination.com

Buyer beware this is what they advertise for the superwhites.

Mine are like fu$kin blue. I know I didn't get the blue ones because the invoice says superwhite. they led's were also white, until I got them to light up. They just plan suck.

So does anyone have any 3157 or 194's that are not blue?

And here is a picture of mine.

My options are find another bulb, or get rid of my sylvania's and get HID's with a blue hue or find a factory headlight bulb that has a blue hue, but I want clear.. That is it.

Superwhite is such a loose term that the actual color varies with a lot of companies.

I was gonna same thing earlier, but didn't want to sound like an idiot......the color seems to match the picture exactly.......horrible match to headlights.....but props to them matching the pic to the product......you would probably have to go with some 6000k HID's to get a close match to those LED's....good luck

I bet you could just get some plain old clear signal bulbs and they would match perfectly.

That is EXACTLY what a white LED looks like. It will have a slight blue/lavender hue to it. They ALL do. Unless your going CCFL or flouresent (joke), your not going to get "pure" white.

Yeah I agree with what everyone else said.....If I were you I'd buy the same brand for any light you want to change in your car to ensure you get the same color light.

Just get some silverstar headlights and they'll be very near the same color. Stock headlights are always shitty and look piss-yellow, thats why your LED's look so much different. The fact is the LED's ARE "superwhite", your headlights are "superpissyellow".

under his pic, he says he has Sylvanias, one can only assume he means Silverstars.......but the LEDs are a more concentrated light source and they have a blue tinge to them.

i hate how LED bulbs are just a straightforward light source. it doesnt even like up the housing. looks beat IMO

Tegr006 · 08-12-2005, 02:04 PM

Yes, my headlights are silverstars.

I am taking the led's out because to me, I have had piaas in the past that looked better than this, but the bulbs were blue. Didn't like that.

I lightly sprayed painted the bulbs silver, just specked the to help with some of the blue color.

Trust me, if you were to actually be in my garage standing there they do not match the picture.

I suppose I saw the picture on the site and was like "YES". But, it turned out to be a bad investment.

Even with the headlights off and the parking lights on. It looks homo.

I have to do some research and figure out how I want to go about fixing this. Factory bulbs back in now.

Thanks for you O's.

you guys .. are buying the wrong thing .. get a 32 led . 8 led foward and 24 led in a halo setup :

check this :

and this :

i have done the entire car with LEDs .. check this tread for my Leds tail lights ... it is the last post

By the way .. White LED don't exist .. and true white will never exist .. there will be always with a tint of blue and/or purple .... this is due to a simulating white because it can't be made with Leds

coconut84 · 08-13-2005, 04:06 PM

$40 for 2 LED bulbs???? Crazy. You got ripped off even if you did like the color. I bought bulbs that look identical to those for my old Neon like 2 years ago from ebay. I think I paid like 13-14 dollars after shipping from Hong Kong.
