Switchback Turn Signals

[deven2015GT]

Diode Dynamics I know sells these, but I was curious as to if the the color of the switchbacks match the headlights and foglights color-wise. Is it a big difference in shade of white or what?

from what I have seen, nothing is a perfect match since.. all the lights are in different color coming from factory. Headlight, DRL, and fog light all in different color lol..

Yeah this is true. Even the Ford replacement turn signal amber lights (mine went out for no reason after about 1k miles) were a slightly darker amber than the original. I'm OCD when it comes to the things that I care about, my car being one of them since it's the first car I've ever ordered and bought brand new. This thing is my baby.

The switchbacks I bought off ebay for $18 are a tad cooler blue than the daytime running lights and headlights, so no luck in matching the color there either.

Man... looks like there's no win-win. May just have to replace ALL the bulbs at once from the same manufacturer then, huh?

The DD switchbacks match the LED foglights however the foglights and the DD switchbacks are whiter (higher kelvin) than the headlights and daytime running lights. I highly recommend the DD switchbacks

I started with the DD Switchbacks... shortly after, replaced the fog lights to LED's and the colour matched between the switchbacks and the fog lights. Now the HID headlights are off... So I just ordered the replacement HID bulbs from DD to match the colour of the Switchbacks and fog lights...

Here are three images...

1. All Stock
2. Switchbacks installed
3. Fog Lights installed.

I will post a new picture up after I replace the HID's.

Yes, all from DD. They have the replacement HID's. Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I haven't had time to try and install them yet... maybe tonight.

Great looking DD Fog LEDs!!, what was the DD part number you used for the 2015 LED Fogs lamps you installed? I currently don't see ones for a 2015 on the DD site.

The SKU for them would be... 2xH11_HP48W

These are the brighter ones... They do have ones that are half the cost but also not as bright.

That's awesome! Take of picture of them when you do - day and night time. I'd like to see them all lit up at the same time if you don't mind, good sir.

my ebay side markers and switchback lights match the stock LED foglights.

all 3 of those do NOT match the oem HID. OEM hid needs to be a bit more towards the blue side of white light.

Weird that the Canadian Fog Lights aren't already LED like the US ones. The US LED fog lights match the DD switchbacks perfectly.

Interesting replies... especially yours, DR_... May just do an overall LED switch then.
