I don't see yet in the sun but i think the white light are invissible or not so bright like OEM bulbs
on the sun light.
I buy this item from e-bay: premiertek.net for 15.29 dollars + 33 dollars shipping to Greece (from USA)=48.29 dollars

They are pretty good....the outer ring is a little dimmer with a slight hue of yellow, and when the Zenons are on, both rings dim a little more and become a little more yellow.
But just for running lights they look really great, and for the price they can not be beat

Just installed V2's...V2 8500K is definitely more blue than V1 8500K in the AE's...

for AE's I'm going to stick to V1 8500K (still have an extra set)

if you are set on purchasing V2's consider a lower temp, 7500K perhaps if you want closer to white/less blue...

can't really capture the difference via camera (i tried), that's why I didn't post any comparison pics V1 vs. V2
