    I've decided in order to match my 5000k retrofit and keep legal, I'm gonna go with some 5000k switchbacks and 5000k led's in the fogs.

    Then I'm thinking led amber 194's for the reflector part of the clear corners.

    I know the fogs won't put out much, if any, light output. I don't think I want to put an hid kit in these fogs, so I believe the led fogs will match my retros and switchbacks as far as looks.

    Does anyone know where to get 5000k switchbacks besides Vled? Those are the only one's I can find.

    Thanks

    switchbacks don't exactly have a kelvin rating to go on since they are LED bulbs and they'll be whatever they end up being.

    however, they're pretty close to 5-6000K based on the LEDs used in them.

    Are you sure about that? That's what I thought till I started searching. Diode Dynamics specifically states there's are 6000k, V-Led has both 6000k and 5000k available.

    Maybe I should post this question on HID Planet...

    i bet they are just calling them that because of the actual color of the white LED used.

    Yes, that way people can match them with their headlights.

    I'm going to put 5000k led's in the fog lights too. I know I'll have lots of light output from my retros, I just want to match it all up color wise cause I hate when I see mis-matching whites
