I have 6000k and by the sound of it that may be what you want? A very slight tinge of blue, but primarily white. Lower temp, like 4300k may illuminate the blue completely, if you wanted to go for the purest white available, though I believe 6000k and 8000k are the most common ones fitted these days. (After market fitted that is, some OEM ones are 4300k.)
Which bulbs did you get for the pates? I am about to order some and was wandering which type of bulb to get.
EDIT: When I say "type" I do not mean the fitment, more the arrangement of the LEDs.

(Please ignore the fitting on these, I mean them for example of the LED layout only.)

I've ordered ones the same layout as the second picture you put up , hopefully they will look well I can't wait to get them

I think that is the probably the best type for number plates. I put SMDs in the sidelights recently and was very impressed. Will be doing every bulb I can! Rears, reversing, interior etc. Do you know how to fit the number plate lights? It's not as easy as you might assume, from memory!
My is200 - Lexuslady - 27-06-2019
I know its not a simple pop out pop in job , the boot lining needs to come out to get to them doesn't it ?
My is200 - Stoney - 27-06-2019
Yep. You need to remove the whole trim piece surrounding the lights.
Very handy guide, with pictures CLICK HERE
