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.

Like this

Or more like this

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

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!

Yep. You need to remove the whole trim piece surrounding the lights.

Very handy guide, with pictures CLICK HERE
