Hi I have just got through the post my new driving (spot) light I got the angel eye version which have an LED ring so I can use them as drl's with the additional wiring harness I have. the only problem I have is that I ordered the white versions and what I got was blue. Is there any difference that is really noticeable between the 2 lenses, I have heard that the blue lenses reduce glare and are better in fog (but would you have main beams on in fog). I am trying to get them returned but wanted to know if blue is better than clear?

Really what the blue tinting does is make the yellow light from the halogen bulb more white. If you look at 'whiter' headlight bulbs, you'll see they often have a blue coating.

Other than that it's just how you think they look on the vehicle. Probably look fine on a blue Pajero, but might be a bit jarring on a red one for example.

Thanks I wasn't sure if there was a difference I may have kept them if the LED's were white as my DRL controller can be configured to work as extra indicators but as the whole lens is blue and yes I have a red pajero doesn't quite match

Its a personal choice thing I think... i have had both and prefer the look of the blue but saw no difference in their performance...

Yes thanks that's what I thought but blue on a red pajero !! I am getting replacement lights that are both white so my driving lights and drl's will be both the same colour.
