Nights breakers are the whitest I've used but next to LEDs they still looked yellowish. The only way to get pure white would be HID. But then you'll need projectors like you were lookin at.

Nooooo first thing the night breakers are whiter by like 10% and ive justcremoved em. There performance are good but look crap. Osram make HID look a like bulbs. They are called

Osram hyper blue bulbs. Paid about 14 quid plus post and they are actually same as 5000k hids and i can assure you they look epic very very white without the problems of  hids.
