I put LED's in my parking lamps and they are very white. My Autopal H4 housings with 100/55w bulbs are very yellow compared to the LED's. With my 52" light bar on too, the headlights look like crap. Is there a whiter bulb I can use that would look closer to the LED's?
Also what do I need to make my blinkers not blink so fast with the LED's in the turn signal and paring lamp?
Thanks for your input!

Do you know the kelvin color temperature of your bulbs?
A good kelvin for H4 bulbs I have found is 5000k-6000k that will give off a good white color.
I run these
Is your wiring harness upgraded?

For 99 cents you can download an app for Android that turns your phone into a color temperature meter. I can't recall the name of it. It's not as accurate as a real CT meter, but it can give you a general idea of the color temp of your LEDs. Then just search for replacement headlight bulbs with a color temp in the same range.
