This is a great topic, and I think most people will agree with you.
From my experience a lot of VW/Audi/BMW Owners like the crisp white light temperature for their LEDs.
The crisp white gives more of a classy look to a car and what most people want.
The warm white resembles a stock halogen light and gives no real benefit when it comes to the look of the car.
The blue is known to be more of a cheesy look on cars and something a lot of VW owners do not want in their cars.

The most popular HID and LED light temperature is 6000k for a reason. A 6000k Light temperature will produce a more crisp white to warm white color rather than a blue tint in it which is usually found in cheaper LEDs that do not take the time to adjust the light temperature.

I like clean white light outside lighting up the road.

I prefer warmer white on my interior dome lights because it's easier for my eyes to adjust to them in the middle of the night and I don't like sitting in a cold laboratory.

Different temperatures for different purposes.

Lol no. 4300K is warm white, 5000K is pure white, and 6000K is a light blue. Only cheap HID kit sellers tell you otherwise.

Blue LED's are run cooler than the white ones therfore prevents the housing to be faded and yellow over time.

Do you ever post factual information on this forum?
Every post I read seems to be filled with nothing but lies and biased fanboyism.:facepalm:
