I've installed some led light pods I got off of marketplace behind my grille. They are bright as shit but they have a blueish tint to them. I want some leds that will match the rest of the lights. I'm running the Silverstar bright h11 and 9006 bulbs. Anyone know what temperature LED pods I would need to have more of a warmer light to match. I also have the Fleece Performance 6high chip.

You're probably better off meeting in the middle with all white light. You dont want blueish headlights and warm white pods are probably not very common.

Yea but I don't know where to start. I'm not sure what I have now except they ate blueish and bright. The all white and bright is what I'm looking for. I'll get some pics of what I have tomorrow night.

HID headlights and fogs. LED running lights.

I'm not sold on LED headlights just yet.

Dude I second that. I like they run with less heat, other than that not a fan because of what @bigdog9191999 posted above. I'd be all about them if they had a warmer tint. Problem is when I drive at night, the blue really is uncomfortable to drive with. Might be otherwise for some folks though. Has been tempting not buying them for at least the DRLs though as the filament bulbs really mess up the sockets. They're so HOT.

For some reason LED DRLs always seem to burn out prematurely, one side or the other. On my ride anyway. I even replaced the old crusty, burned, brittle sockets. I got tired of replacing them so I just got rid of em all together. No problems with the running lights though.

I’m running theses LED Clicky they are 6k on the temperature spectrum and super bright.. They match the DRLs of the Yukon. I would not run them if you do t have projectors because they are blinding bright if the light is not focused.

different system completely they are talking about gmt800 and incandescent housings and I agree with them HID is the way to go, even though you CAN find projector housings for them they are generally not very good quality.

I changed over DRL to LED for that reason... The sockets were getting a little toasty and the LED only drew something like 1.5W.
Back-up lights were recent LED upgrade this week. Sorry I waited so long to do that... WOW!

To OP: Not sure if this is possible, but this is what I might try looking into, if it were me...

You might be able to locate the technical specs for the make/model of pods you have to see what LED chip they are using.
There aren't that many LED chip makers (CREE, etc.).
If you know what model#/part#/chip# you have, you might be able to look for specific lights to match.
