Default Switchback LED and Colour

Hi Vettefans

I bought a pair of switchback LEDs for the DRL and flasher from Corvettemods. They work as planed, but i dont like the colour.
The amber looks in real more RED than the original Bulbs.

Now are there some switchback LED bulbs that looks more like the orange bulbs?

I saw them too. But on the videos and pictures. the colour is orange from any seller.

when i take a photo from my switchbacks they look also orange on the picture. Wile in real the Colour goes more into red.

So perhaps anyone has some of them to compare.

Ours do not look red. We've been selling them for a couple of years now and I've never heard of a complaint of them being close to red.

Here is mine in amber mode up close taken with an old camera

My bulbs also do not switch back. Or am i wrong with that. When the white is lighten and the amber switches on, the white should automaticaly switch off?

that doesnt, white and amber are both lighten up on Turn Signal flashing or Remote open door.

Hi

Got my JWM Switchback LEDs last week and put them into the lights.
Yes, they look orange and they also switchback vom white to orange and back again as as expected.

So the JWM LEDs are the way to go, the corvettemod LEDs i use for anything other because they are not usable in the Corvette, because of the not working switchback funktion
