City lights h6w

Have any of you guys tried replacing the stock h6w (crappy yellow)city lights with LED's?
LED:

Are these any good?:(H6W)

I've tried Phillips xennon match, Oscram[?] and others, still yellowish...
With LED's however the computer might not recognize the wattage, I thought maybe adding a ressistor???
any input?
Thanks!

i never thought about doin that it might work. I do know that if you use generic brand led lights it will not work. But i have found that the piaa Leds work great!

I have it! its the LED version. It looks really great specially if you decide to put real Xenon it will go great together.
The only thing i hate is the Lamp Defective Warning
turns on when you put the lights( Irritating )
check it out

crsh2 - looks good! I found that most led's have prongs positioned @ 9o'clock & 3, did you have to shave one of the prongs off? I figured the warning light might come on, that's irritating[:(!]! Have you thought about adding a ressistor?
