License Plate LEDs : Which are the whitest?

I'm looking for some LEDs for the license plate and have looked into RDash, F1autohaus, Sonic, etc. I had a pair of error free F1 autohaus but did not like the bluish hue it emits. I'm looking for a nice super white kit, and do not mind whether its bright or not. Would the RacingDash work best? Any recommendations?

Mtec with the newest creed LED will be the whitest. Compared it with a 24LED ones and still mtec is still brighter and whiter, on top of it, they only have 2 LED in each housing with metal heat sink

If you don't want them to be too bright, you can easily apply a thin layer of tint film to the housing to diminish light output. I'd suggest the WeissLicht Housings which are a full replacement designed to produce a 6000k xenon white color.

I'm looking for a pure white..no blue whatsoever.

My buddy has the Mtec's... they seem pure white to me, but they are SUPER bright, much more than the RDash.

It may be the photo but the WeissLicht units are a 6000k xenon white color.
