How blue is too blue?

[Advv]

Just put some new parker lights in my car. I bought them on ebay and they were labelled as "white" but they have a very noticeable blue tinge.

If I had to describe the colour, I'd say it's sky blue. Against my bluevisions (which look yellow/white), it's quite noticeable.

I've seen cars with actual blue parkers in their car which is obviously illegal but I'm just wondering how illegal mine are?

I'll get some photos tomorrow if it helps

Thanks for any advice.

The "white" leds from my experience are always slightly blue. The only LEDs which I can have which are truely white are the OEM ones.

I have bluevisions with SMD parkers, yes they are slightly blue but when the low beam is on you can't tell from a distance so I wouldn't worry.. unless you want to drive around with parkers only?

I'm pretty sure you can tell with mine haha. Maybe it's because I got the ones with like 7 little LEDs in them. Pretty bright. I'll take a pic tomorrow!

Ray my LED parkers are the same
They appear to have a blue tinge but as far as I know they are legal
Cheers Chris....

Mine are also slightly blue but all good, no problem so far. SMDs too

ive been using actual blue parkers (4 LED)for the past few weeks in gc and havent had any problems yet. although the cops in goldcoast probably have more important things to worry about...

[noo$h]

would i get a warning first or a fine straight up?

[noo$h]

having red p's probably doesnt help either

It's a risk with blue lights. If that's your cup of tea then lol. But anyway, yea GC cops have shootings to worry about O_O

I got pulled over for a roadside breath test the other night and the cop questioned me on my LED parkers. He thought they were a bit too blueish for his liking. Took me about 10 minutes to talk my way out of it and be on my way. (Thankfully no questions about my 6000k HIDS )

That said, I've been driving around with them for more then a year and never had any problems. Must have just been a slow day for the breath testers. Stuff like that just comes down to the particular cop, and how good a day he's having. If you're respectful and chat to them, usually you should be ok.

I just recently bought Phillips Crystal Vision 4300K and tell you what it is the look im after.. however coming off Phillips Blue Vision you do notice a big!!! difference
Blue Vision allows you to see further and is bright white whereas Crystal Vision does have the blue look to it and the output aint that far... it is noticeable between the two

Preference:
It is up to you but if you want to see further go for the Blue Vision and you wont be disapointed
Crystal Vision i am unsure whether to keep it but it does make it look apart
