The bulbs I used last yr are bluish.....not too bad with my lapis blue car but I'd like pure white. What are yours?

That's such a subjective topic; not sure how I'd characterize them other than they are clearly whiter/bluer than the stock lights. The eBay description simply describes the color as "white." That said, I believe that the color temp is 6500-7000K, based on this listing for a similar product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/THG-Lighting-Projector-Reverse-Parking/dp/B00HF0YZ9U

No longer sure what the temp of my led bulbs was. I believe that anything 6000 or above will have a bluish hue. It's too bad that bulb manufactures don't know the difference between white and blue.
The lens on the front of you bulbs perhaps also make a big difference. I just have 3 separate LEDs on the front. Not as much projection. Also, we rarely see lumens listed on the specs of LED bulbs. We can look up the old bulb's output but then have to guess that the LEDs are better.

I originally did this using the amber LEDs . While visible, it wasn't as noticeable as I originally wanted.

Then, I changed out the LEDs for 50 watt Yellow Halogen H 7 bulb. Brighter, more eye catching.

I have had the same experience with the white LED's. Is there any issue with the Halogen H7 burning the fog light lens when left on all of the time?

The LEDs are much cooler than the standard bulb so there is almost no heat. I have had mine in for at least 6 years without a problem.

Those LEDs look so much better. I am doing my best to keep the Boxster OEM, but this mod is a must do. The leds look so much better with litronic lights.
