Cool on the X995! one day i'll pick one up.
yeah, you need to get the yellow glo or warm white LEDs, which simulate incandescants.
straight "white" LEDs always have a blue glow to them because of their constuction. In fact, most things that are "white" are actually blue. For example, did you ever wonder why white clothing glows blueish under a darklight? it is actually inherently blue, but regular light out competes it so that it appears white in normal light.

The only thing I'm not too happy with is the fact that my 'pure white' SMT leds for these, turned out to be more blue than my actual headlight, which has only a slight blue tint. Oh well, very modern loco with metal halide type bulbs installed!
