Can anyone think of a way to make white LEDs less blue to color match a white CCFL?

LED's are sold in both pure white and cool white, just have to find the right ones.

They were from China and off eBay. White was white they had no warm, neutral or white options. I was thinking that yellow tint might do the trick.

No, you should definitely go with the China eBay crap inside your headlights. Those should last a long time and not require you to open them back up in a month when something burns out. :thumbsup:

a) you need to know what Kelvin the ccfl is at
b) don't buy LEDs If the Kelvin temp isn't rated

c) or don't use ccfl and just buys a ton of LEDs from the same BIN, thar way you don't have to worry about them matching)

There are some LEDs from china that have quality issues so I avoid those. But I'm not going to pay more for the exact same LED. SuperbrightLeds, V-Leds they all come from China. If you know what you're doing you won't have problems.
