Unhappy with LED Angel Eye Replacement Color

danmcq · 11-17-2012, 06:20 PM

I just picked up a set of Angel Eye LED replacements for my 2009 335i w/ stock Xenon setup. They are the Euro EFX LED ANGEL EYES H8 LED 6 WATT BULBS (see http://store.euroeffects.net/64-led-...es-h8-led.html).

The install was pretty painless, and every thing is working fine. The lights look good when the headlights are on, but I noticed something when I turned the headlights off (leaving only the angel eyes on). While the inner halos look great, with the pure white color I was going for, the outer rings have a distinctly blue/purple hue to them:

What I want is a uniform white color on both rings. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? I've looked into the 'LUX' H8 which seems to be popular, but apparently they aren't shipping those anymore. Any tips would be appreciated!

LUX had some issues with some of his units, so while he's in the process of fixing that, and then they'll be back on sale.

I think these GP Thunder 7500k H8 35W Plasma-White bulbs may be just what I'm looking for until I can find a good LED solution. They appear to have a nice clean white look. Heck of a lot cheaper than I paid for these crap LEDs too. Anyone have any experience with these (http://www.amazon.com/Xenon-7500k-Pl...=pd_sim_auto_1)?
