strange that ive put the same 15led towers in the missus polo as you but they look whiter compared to the 6000k hids when first warming up, then they match them perfectly (i know 4300 is about the whitest hid temp though)

I haven't got HIDs, Ive got Halfords Super or Extreme Brlliance.... I'm thinking I'll swap to MTEC Bulbs, I want to go for Cosmos Blue as they'll match up better to the LEDs but they're nor e marked so not road legal. So I'll probs go for MTEC Superwhite....theyre only 4200k but they're road legal so the best HID colour match on the market I think. We'll see :shock:

Not the same wheel now I look at it, I dont think I got an after picture of the kerbed one but I found out that the kerbing is actually almost un-noticeable once the wheels clean, as alot of its definition came from embedded brakedust in the grooves in the alloy where it scraped. Still, chuffed with the results! :mrgreen:
