What is Color Temperature and Will New Bulbs Match Color Temperature on 2015 Toyota Prius
Published 02/01/2018
Question:
Hello, What is exactly color temperature? Will it match with Prius DRL’s color temperature?

Expert Reply:
Color temperature is represented in Kelvin with cool colors having a Kelvin rating of over 5,000 and warm colors in a range from about 2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin. It's actually pretty interesting if you look into it more.
The chances of new bulbs such as # DI78VR being the same color temperature as existing lights on a vehicle is slim due to variations in the spectrum. So for example 2 different bulbs claiming 5,000 Kelvin may not look exactly the same.
If your day time running lights use the same bulbs as the regular headlights on your Prius then you won't have to worry about color matching.
