Sorry for all the questions folks, just want to make sure I get the right LED's for me. I want them to appear white with no blue tint at all. Do I go with 5k or 6K? Based on the page below, the 6k looks a tad bluish to me but don't know if that translates to real life.

if you want no blueish color at all get the warm white

Aren't warm close to regular OEM, yellowish? Since 6.5K is daylight I was more concerned about natural vs cool or 5k vs 6k.

I installed the Cool White first and it was too blue for me. Went with Natural White (tried to stay around 4300K on all bulbs) and it was definitely whiter and also easier to see. I just moved the Cool Whites to my son's car as he liked them more. So easiest thing to do if you are not 100% sure, is jut buy one of each and try then in different locations before buying a whole set. Here are the details of what I did:

Yes Warm is too yellow and close to OEM. Go Natural White.

Looks like the 5K are "white" based on the reviews for this light at V-LED

If you looked at the links I gave, you will see that the interiors are mostly 4500K and they are "white". You are probably good up to 5000K, but head up to 6000+K and you are in teh "blue" range.

If you're looking for white with no hint of any other color, get natural white or neutral white.

Cool white has a very slight of blue in it, very slight.

Warn white has a little bit of yellow in it, like your room's light bulb or the OEM bulb.

The lower the kelvin (K), the more yellow it is, and the higher visibility you'll have. Conversely, the higher the kelvin, the more blue/purple, and worse visibility.

OEM bulb is 4300K, since you feel like 6000K is a little too blue for you, try to find something around 5000K-5500K.
