Best LED's?.....

Hello,

I have gone through two sets of LED's for my lisence plate lights. Both times I orded the whitest possible... It always comes out blue-ish. The bulb shines white but the light is blue. Im looking for the type of white that you see on the new Lexus IS's and some benz's. where you see it truley bright white shining. Any sites you guys might know?

Thanks

Im not even sure if they use LED's at all. the white by LED standard is always a bit blueish to the eye

if you want the whitest looking white, you want something with a color temp of under 6000K... Cool White is typically around 6-8000K, you want a "warm white" or "natural white" from an LED.
