Interior F style LED's?

So I've had the cool white 6000k interior LED lights in my E92 for a few years however other than the main front and rear cabin lights - the reading lights and the makeup/visor lights are pretty much useless in visibility at that color temp. You can barely see your face in the mirror at night.

Does anyone know where I can get the F type interior bright white LED's that appear to be about 4000 kelvin temperature?

I've been using these for almost four years and never had a single issue.

Bright enough, not blinding, and a pure white colour. Impossible to beat given that price point, longevity, and proper colour/output.

Thanks! I'll check them out as mine are more bluish.

That being said I'm still looking for that softer/warm led for my reading lights like the F series.

Bmw makes a genuine set of LEDs that fit into the e92. They dont replace all of the bulbs though. I got that kit and then purchased the remaining bulbs from HPB.

A true 4000K is a bit hard to find.

If the current kit you have has a bluish hue, consider the HPB Interior Kit. They are pure white. Keep in mind most LED companies and their rating of kelvin temperatures are not at all accurate and usually used for marketing purposes. I say this because the HPB kit is rated at 6000K but it's a Pure White, closer to 4000-5000K.

Thanks, Jeff.

Anyone know what BMW's LED kit is rated at or how it looks below? The LED light structure is kinda cool and way different than all the LED kits you see out there. The Ziza kit in pics looks pure white as it gets. Again just a friendly reminder I'm looking for a 4000k look for the reading lights like the F series. Would like as OEM to the F as possible, surprised this is not more common.

I wouldn't base anything to largely on pictures, white balance has a HUGE effect on what looks white and what doesn't. Having owned the HPB kit and sold 100's and 100's, I haven't seen anything brighter or whiter (as that was the main goal of the kits) and we've tested over a dozen configurations of LED on my personal vehicle. I actually have part of my house in 4000K LED - there weren't many options available.
