    In the third pic I don't like that you can see the bolt now that the reflector is gone.
    Otherwise, very nice.

    By the way, I see you got new projector retrofitted, 3D probably dual function turn signal, replaced amber reflector with LED strip, upgraded eyeline LEDs plus custom paint..

    Is that all? And how much was it?

    6000k. I tried to match 6000k all the way but somehow exled stuff is a bit blueish. And i didnt bring hid kit so watever wired ridez usually uses, i got.
    And the cost was 740. diesel, evrything u mentioned plus led angel eyes.
    Oh and in case anyone was wondering, the shroud is gatling gun 2.0. Glossy black all along except the gunmetal gray bezel insert

    I don't think you ordered from exled, did you? All my stuff was matched correctly. Did you purchase their things from a different source?

    Ur rite. I ordered exled stuff from another vendor. I inquired about this and the vendors contacted the exled to see what the problem was and exled guys didnt really respond well. I dont know maybe vendor made a mistake but the vendor i bought the modules from says they only carry 6000k, nothing else. I just decided to let this go cuz i dont wanna take the headlight apart again

    Im not blaming exled btw. Im just saying that my vendor told me exled was reluctant to send me a replacement. wat happened is that my vendor wasnt even aware that there were different white colours and they assumed all exled eyeline leds they were selling were the same. Understandable why exled guys dont wanna send me another part from exled point of view. But considering that most other manufacturers dont even bother to inquire about problems and just send replacement parts because the manufacturin cost of those led parts are reaalllllly cheap, im just saying that im a little disappointed. Their product is great dont get me wrong lol

    Not trying to place blame or point fingers but after seeing and hearing about the experience others have had with exLed.. I'm inclined to say that someone probably didn't even contact exLed.

    I'm sure that they would have reached an amicable solution specially for that very same reason you pointed out. Parts are relatively cheap, and they seem to really value their costumers and their satisfaction.

    Your vendor wasn't aware there were different white colors????? Wow. I kind of feel like that's something vendors of lights should know.

    In your comment about the blueness of the lights, I see that a lot of their pictures uploaded are all 7000K white. So, it would stand to think that what you received from your "unknowledgeable" vendor was 7000K.

    Not blaming you either. I can understand your disappointment (just about the color, not the quality, as you said so yourself, it's great), but that's 1 big reason why I always buy direct from the manufacturer. Problems can get solved easily. Makes it so I don't have to go through hoops to get an issue rectified.

    I know you said you let it go, but I wonder if talking to your vendor (again) would yield you the correct white color. Telling them that they sent you the wrong color and they should've checked before shipping them to you?

    Maybe it's useless, but that's also why on the exled website it says that not all online vendors of their products are authorized to sell their products and if there's a problem, you'd have to go through that unauthorized vendor. (According to their description, there's a LOT that are unauthorized, including other vendors on forums...

    Yeah the reason i let go is that evrythings been installed already. I dun wanna open up my headlights just to replace the eyeline, not to mention that it would be more difficult open second time due to resealant, according Wired ridez. I was kinda hoping that some kind of warranty issue happens and wired ridez would have to open up the headlights again lol but no issue at all at the moment and he did reaalllllyy good job resealing lol
