Factory HID Color Temp

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Stupid question but search didn't turn up anything.
What is the color temp of the factory HID bulbs? Going to do an LED conversion for the puddle, license plate, reverse and interior lights as well as changing the fogs and high-beams to Nokyas / Hoens.

Many TIA!

Edit : Forgot to ask. Would using 5000K rated LEDs and the Nokya Cosmic Whites (also 5000K) for highs and lows match the factory HIDs well?

Bloody figures. I find the answer right after I post - 4500K.

Are you ordering from V LEDs?

2 HID WHITE HIGH POWER LICENSE PLATE LED BULBS 194 168 158
B) License Plate : (1) 2 HID WHITE 6 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 158 168 LARGE
C) Everything Inside (incl glovebox) : (4) 2 HID 5K WHITE SMT 5 LED LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 2821

(Some people have mentioned that this doesn't fit so well on a 2006. Used (C) instead)

Yea I had a bad experience with them, but I think it was isolated.

Good luck!

And take your time on the puddles

From who? The people in that link or the links you quoted?


I used superbrightleds.com tons of times with no problems. Cant comment on the LEDs for cars though. I know I got a set of 194's off e-bay once ( V-LEDs ) and they were very loose. I got pulled over cause if I hit a bump they sometimes would go out.

Sorry to hear that. I've had good luck all three times I ordered from them.
Just finished putting these in. Will be taking pics tomorrow night if it's not rainy out.

+1. I've always used superbrightleds.com

The highs. However, I failed at RTFM as the 9005 Hoen Xenonmatch Plus is 65W instead of 80W.
