Default 6000K 180 Lm LED's too bright for puddle lamps, well IMHO at least.

I purchased VLEDS for my license plate lamps and the puddle lamps (courtesy light) for the XFR. Happy with the license plate LED's which are now 6000K 100 lumen, however, I opted for the 180 lumen LED's for the puddle lamps. Kinda wish I wouldn't have. They're bright as F&$#! and don't really emit a true "white" light... Instead there's a bit of a yellowish hue on BOTH sides. Perhaps a faulty pair of LEDS or the 180 lumen was overkill. Ordering 100's instead to match the rear plate.
Regardless, not regretting the LED conversion as it's a must do!

Maybe when you ordered the 180 lumen lamps you didn't select the color temperature you wanted.

6000K was what I ordered, at least I thought I did. I'll be replacing them with 100 lumen 6000K soon enough.
