Guess the imaging of the camera might change a bit due to the low light as well
#107
wow youre right. im not a camera geek but im guessing the color change comes from a different wavelength, which probably happened when the light traveled through the plastic encasing.
so for $40 i can get the same effect...? im thinking i will go ahead and splurge. for the license plate ive gone through 4 bulbs already, as 2 of them burnt out. hopefully these nicer, more expensive bulbs have some staying power.
thx for taking those pics, tony.

Mine were 5SMT 6K bulbs for 9 bucks a pair (more than bright enough for a license plate, I don't get why people are talking about high power). They definitely have a blueish tint that varies quite a bit in pictures. However here is one I took that I feel pretty closely represents how they look in real life

I have the same ones...and they dont look blue-ish at all...they probably sent me 5000K..still looks better than stock though.

*** UPDATE *** I Decided to swap my interior LEDS once again from v-leds.com 5K SMT HIGH POWER LED LIGHT BULBS to the 6K WHITE SMT X5 HIGH POWER LED LIGHT BULBS and now I'm really happy with the look! The 6K X5 LEDS cost a few bucks more a pair but the intensity is much more white and clean and they match the OEM illuminated kickplates perfectly.
I highly recommend these too all G37 owners who want a quick, high-quality LED upgrade. Link found below:

Tony, thanks for this valuable information.
If you don't mind, can you tell me which 921 bulb you used for your reverse lights please?
Thanks,
Allan

These LED's will fit the doors, above rear doors (If you have a sedan), map/dome lamps, license plate, trunk, as well as front running/marker lights. The flip-down vanity lights are different. See my bulb size/spec list I had on another thread below:

I used these for back-up, they are plenty bright. You won't get a 921 bulb that the dome closes.
