A comparison of Ofer's DRL bulbs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

nyrfan · 01-12-2013, 07:19 PM

Ofer (2SSRS) was nice enough to send me a 4300K set to compare to my current 5000K set. Below are some comparison shots of the 4300K (left) and the 5000K (right). I have a 2013 so these are ps26w drl's, p13's should be the same. I let the bulbs heat up for about 5 minutes before taking the pictures. Both bulbs are a bit exaggerated in the pictures, the yellow is not quite as yellow and the blue is not quite as blue although I feel the yellow is more highlighted in person.

Personally I feel the 5000K match slightly better and will probably stick with them, but IMO you cannot go wrong with either.

Thanks to Ofer!

definitely the 5000K on the right is a much better match. I might be picking up a set when my crappy ones i got for 20 bucks are done for.

I went with th 5000 & am very glad I did. Thanks for taking the pics - reinforces that I made the right decision.

Part # for the right lights and harness adapter (?) (also it looks like a easy mod to do).
thanks

Hmm, maybe its just the pics or the difference between the P13w and Ps26 but your 4300k looks really yellow compared to mine. I have them on my 2011 and they match much better than yours do. Mine look closer to your 5k's. Unless I ended up with 5k's on accident lol.

I'll try to get a picture tonight.

Do your's snap in?

On the p13w's he sells they dont snap. They are tight but I put a little electrical tape around it just to be sure.

I had the 4300K p13's on my 2011 and they were the same shade as the 4300K PS26, here is a pic:

Yes all 3 versons snapped in with no issues.

hmm weird. Maybe he switched vendors or something. Don't know why mine don't snap in.

Either way, they can't be beat for the price.

Bought mine at lite-rite.com. 5000k 7.5 watt and they are very bright and white. Only $54 out the door. Nice quality. Will buy there again.

Lacpac · 06-28-2013, 08:31 AM

Sorry that was lite-right.com

And you felt the need to post here, why?

I eliminated having to worry about the match and just got amber bulbs. I always liked fogs being amber anyway. My fogs are fogs again and are not DRL's....Ofer's Halo harness now makes the Halo's the DRL.
