switchbacks?
Just installed some Switchbacks LED's.
Tower II 20 Led,
Amber-White Type: 3157 Wedge
Seem to look a very blue against the yellowish heads and fogs. Any suggestions on Silverstars ect. too match the color for headlights. I can wait for fogs..I am just not feeling the contrast. Someone has had to have dealt w/ this. TIA

I have the SliverStar Ultras, much more of a purer whiter than original, but still don't match the switchbacks. You might have to step up to HIDs, I think in the 6000K range to get the slight bluish tint. I want to do the HIDs, but not in my budget at the moment.
If you're really are just wanting to match colors, they have bulbs the give the "look" of HIDs, but don't improve the light much if any. I don't think they're worth it.
Fogs, I went the other way. I got HID fogs, but in the 3000K color temp. Makes a big difference!

To match the color of the LED switchbacks, you will need to upgrade the headlights and fogs to 6000K HID lights. This makes a dramatic difference. Several forum vendors such as JW Motoring sell HID kits that are very reasonably priced.
