New 3 and 5 series LED AE bulbs?

I want to replace my angel eye bulbs with LED just like the new 3 and 5 series. Out of all the replacement plug and play bulbs available, which one is identical in color to the new led angel eyes? The BMS and Lux look pretty similar but does anyone know for sure because lighting is always different when you take a picture. I want to make sure the lights I buy look as close to stock as possible.

Thanks

None will will be visible in the daytime.....you'll need to do the oss conversion.

Best plug and play is LUX.

My lux are very visible in the daytime. Highly recommend them. Best bang for buck by far.

In direct sunlight? I doubt it....the celis technology the angel eyes use doesn't allow for direct sunlight visability.

A lot of it depends on the angle. From some angles, the stock halogens are very bright during the day, but from others, you can barely see them.

Well the stock halogen bulbs are a different spectrum than the sunlight. That's why they are more visible in daylight.

LUX and any other LED replacement is pretty close to the daylight spectrum so it kinda gets washed out.

I helped install lux on someones car on Tuesday and although they were bright, in direct sunlight, they were a bit hard to see.

Definitely the best though out of the replacement LEDs.
