I've had these in my 986 since January 2014. They're a bit too blue for my taste (5000K), but I can't seem to find any at 4500K, so I live with the color difference.

If really you get bothered by the blue'ish then look into hacking them open and install a filter. Often just adding a 0.3mm thick diffuser (white frost) makes them turn yellow'ish. I'd say at about 3.5k~4k.

Intensity diminish however -15~20%

filters are sourced from photography studio supplies
