Yeah DLRs are slightly more blue in person. When I was running 6K hids, they blended almost perfectly with the boomerangs. I really like how my 8ks look now with the boomerangs, they kinda look like mean eyebrows in person

WRB owners, is that just cleaned up or are those waxed? I know crystal white pearl won't pop reflections like that but I'm looking for ideas on making white a bit more vibrant.

Installed shock sensor to OEM alarm, and recently installed LED license plate lights that replace the entire stock housings. They are much brighter than the LED bulbs I already had in there, and they are more straight white than whitish blue.

License plate lights $18.99 shipped: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151289592529...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

They are really bright, and crisp white. I've always liked how clean the Lexus IS trunk lights looked and this is about as close as you can get. The nice part with these is it replaces the stock light housings so you get a much broader spread of light; about 3 inches x 1 inch worth of light output (18 CREE LED's per) instead of the 1cm x 1cm of a typical bulb. Hopefully they hold up.

Sadly, that's always going to be an issue with white It's one of the reasons I don't like white cars. Darker colors show more reflections and depth.

I got mine through another vendor and they're fantastic. They make assemblies for the door courtesy lights too. As it is, the only incandescent lights left on my car are the lights on the visors

Which dome bulbs are you using? I haven't tried replacing these yet, but I'd like to find a set that output nice usable light, and are not blue.

Adjustable from stockish light levels to OMGWTF bright and it still dims like factory.
