HID Sidelights

Fitted som HIDs to my mk 2 GTI a couple of months ago and they look great. Thing is, they make the side lights and fogs look yellow in comparison. I bought some quad blue LEDs off ebay that were supposed to give HID look but they just look blue. Not the dessired look at all.
Any suggestions for the bright white look to match the HIDs. Also, what bulbs for the fogs.

i bought some quad LED sidelights from ultra LEDs to go with my HIDS, the HIDs were rated at 6000K and the LEDs were rated at giving the same colour light, and they match perfectly :D

Recieved bulbs today:lol:, only worrie is they look a bit bigger diameter than the standard bulbs. Do they fit straight in, or is some modification required.

Answer this myself, no mod needed, fitted them today, fit straight in. Match the HIDs perfectly.
Just need to sought the fog bulbs and maybe the main beams, any ideas?

Im not sure what to do about the highbeam and fogs. Think you'd have to get HIDs for them too. But i hardly ever need my fogs so not that fussed. If you do find some bulbs let us know.

Will do, had the car out tonight, lights look mint. Fitted the blue quad leds to my Mercedes Sprinter van at work today, pretty cool.
