I would like to know as well.

Boooo @ 8000k. Would have loved 4500-6000k for what the VAST majority run in terms of color.

I figure this is a long shot, but is there any way to get a set WITHOUT the turn signals? OR to make them function as something else? I mean, I've already got front markers, so I don't really want/need more turn signals. Maybe with the LEDs in white that function as DRL's or something?

Or just find the wire for the turn signal LEDs and cut them?

Well, yes, but then you have dead/useless/nonfunctional items in the piece you just paid ~$450 for. Was trying to think of other solutions that put the LEDs to use.

Lol yeah. Just something I just randomly came up with. Didn't even think about the use of it after.

What about.. Just cut off the the lower turn signals and wire the ones in to headlight to work.

Personally I don't like them being separate from the headlight so yeah.

I really hope there is a 6000k-8000k option to match my other lights.... Really don't want that purple look and more of that blue look above. If that's the case, I am sold!

Yeah, I think that'd be the best option since I also like having the signal up higher.

I already have switchbacks in the front markers, so they're basically LED "fog lights" right now. I have the housings blacked out, so they blend in with the bezels and pretty much disappear.

However, I just installed ACTUAL fog lights, so having 2 sets of those might be a bit redundant too

This would be awesome if ML24 ever came out with their brake duct/LED strip marker kit. Would delete the front markers and replace them with a boomerang-type LED strip (that is also switchback), which would match well with the headlights. They've been in preproduction for like a year though...

If they didn't have a turn signal in them they would be so much better.
