    Default Help: looking for error-free 8000k or 10000K LEDs (2825 bulb)

    Hey y'all, I need some help finding a very specific LED bulb, as I've had no luck. I'm trying to match the puddle lights in the doors of my '11 RRS to the factory LEDs in the side mirrors. I tried these bulbs already:
    2825 W5W Error Free LED Bulbs | Mercedes Parking Lights | Eyelid Lights

    They work perfectly, but they're too white (iJDM says these test at 6500-7000k, whereas the stock lights are more purple/blue, likely closer to 8000k or greater). So, I'm looking for a 2825 LED wedge that's error-free and is 8000k (maybe even 10000K) in color. I know that I'm being picky, but I'd prefer that it perfectly match .

    Update: I tried the first bulbs on this page: 194 168 W5W 2825 Map Led Parking Signal Marker Bulbs. The color is definitely 7000k or lower, so those didn't work (for that matter, the bulb wouldn't even light up in one door). I just ordered these bulbs, so we'll see how that goes: 194/ 168/ T10/ 2825/ 2821/ W5W LED (8000K) [194 168 T10 2825 2821 W5W] - $19.00 : AZN Optics, Your SOURCE for Automotive LED and HID Lighting!.

    My last resort will be these, as the color appears much closer (I'd prefer LEDs though): Error Free Cool White 2825 W5W Parking Light Bulbs for Audi BMW Mercedes.

    PM me, I got bulbs that'll work and are pretty close to the factory HIDs.

    Meh, I've tried bulbs in that range - 4300k-5000k is too white. The LEDs in the side mirror housings are more purple. Even the 8000k LED I tried (who knows if it actually tested at 8000k) was too blue/white. I don't think a matching bulb exists...

    I think we have a member here that goes by yachtlights that deals in led lights. I would shoot him a pm to see what he can do for you.
