mate. if you are worried about using them, why have them?. you are just gonna worry every time you go out at night. take em out and put some white led ones in. look alot better. the ones i got are almost as bright as the HID's. lol.
these are the ones i have. awesome

This old problem, I went through at least 5 different types of leds.
They all claimed to be bright white and every time they came out blue tinted.
Now if someone has cured this problem and has pictures, pretty please point me in the right direction. They need to be a good match to 4300k

The SMD technology LEDs that we do are a very good match for the most popular HID colour of 6000k.

I've also found normal LED sidelights to be too blue.

LED`s in the sidelights can cause problems with misting as the design of the light unit needs a hot bulb inside to help airflow now and again 
I ended up throwing my led ones away and fitting normal sidelight bulbs, but with a coating on them to make them appear less yellow, i picked them up on fleabay for about £3

The LED's I picked from ebay (were recommended on here, can't remember who by) are rubbish. 
Yes they are white, but they are so dim!
Blobeye headlights are a pain to swap the sidelight bulbs so I really don't want to have to keep swapping the bulbs trying different ones.

Bought another set after a poster on here recommended them (can't remember where from but online) and they've been fine in the car - work for over a year. Not quite white though - still a hint of blue...

They are the ones i have at the mo Bob. Their a little too blue along side the 4300's, but yes they are bright and reliable. I'm looking for some a little closer to the white of the 4300's.

The brother-in-law fitted '501 Sidelight Extreme White bulbs' tonight and they are pure white.
He got them of ebay, Pair of 501 W5W Xenon Extreme White Side Lights on eBay (end time 24-Oct-09 20:37:40 BST)
Ive ordered a set, so give me till mid-week when they arrive and I can put up pics.
So we can all see if they match 4300k

I've had a few sets from eBay for various cars an never had a problem. Can't think who the seller is but I can find out if anyone is interested. Replaced the festoon interior lamps for superbright LEDs an then look fantastic. Also replace rear reg' plate lamps for superbrights an(I think) it looks great! They've been in for at least 8month and I have my lights on most of the time and still no problems! I did have to manufacture a reflector (sponsered by kitkat!) to make it effective tho.
