Just installed some cool white dome lights..

Got the 921 x12 wedge base in cool white from superbriteleds, however they are a different shade of white? Ones bluer than the other. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

The 921-12 come in Cool White 9500K which is going to be dimmer and bluer than the Warm White which is 3200K and not much different than OEM bulb. Check the packaging? Maybe they shipped one of each.

Go with the Natural White, that will be EXACTLY what your looking for. Its BRIGHT white with NO blue in it.

I agree with Meltdownblitz about Natural White, but the bulb you picked does not come in Natural White. Here is what I did with the goal of being "white" not "blue". I have been PM'd by some that have tried this as well and they have all agreed it is more or most white. Good luck.

You know... it would be so nice if someone did a Sticky with Bulb and order numbers from a site and color options. Its just freakin' takes long reading everyone's post.

I'm one of the ones to PM him and tell him....these bulbs are PERFECT. You get PURE WHITE light. NO blue tint. I had some cool whites and they were blue/dim to me. Now these are perfect. +100 to HamstersG for doing his trial/error work for us. Trust these recommendations....they're spot on.
