Ah, thank you!

Was looking at @KI_ZN6's posts for HID_Powerhouse showing the G's LED DRLs and they look bright as fawk at night (though it may just be due to no proper housing to aim/project), so maybe I'll opt for those to at least have some meaningful additional output with high-beams.

I have the G's. If you want I can get pictures of light output tonight as well as daytime output.

That'd be awesome
Looking to get everything as close to matching as possible, b/w the switchbacks, side markers, and HID (or LED) lows and LED DRLs.

No problem. I'm trying to match everything too. All are going to be 6000k.

I had offered a free replacement upon return of the defective bulbs in question, but @Flako refused to return them until I sent him new ones. I had also even offered to pay for the return shipping on the defective bulbs once they arrived. Received negative feedback from him since he refused to return the bulbs. Just didn't want him slandering my name without sharing my side of the story. Sure, bulbs are defective from time to time, it happens. When this does happen I have absolutely 0 issue replacing them free of charge, I just ask for the defective ones back. You don't go to Walmart, buy something, then go back and claim it's broken and expect a new replacement without returning the broken item, do you?

I got my switchbacks (from @Precisionleds) today. I'll get some night pics. The best I could do was change the focus point and slight angle. The switchbacks match the HID headlights better than the DRL, BUT I have the older HID bulb from @KI_ZN6 which is a little bit bluer than the ones he supplies now. The newer HID bulbs he supplies (which I also have) are closer to DRLs.

Looks sweet man! I ended up going to Kenneth for the whole she-bang, can't wait to get rid of the dingy halogens, the LED/HID does wonders for the vehicle. Will be sure to post pics once everything arrives. Sadly, the G's are on backorder

The color's on the switchbacks Ken provide will be the same. That's just the nature of the actual light emitting diode. Ken's bulb just has a lower overall diode count so it won't be as bright. (By diode, I mean the individual specs that produce light within the square/rectangular piece we call surface mount LEDs.) You still can't go wrong though. (I'm just stupid picky and was willing to pay a little more.)

I'll stop picture spamming after this.
I have a blinker video if anyone is interested.
The turn signals are some color, but brighter and a really nice crisp on-off.

This one is the true color. I drove about a block before I realized that my headlights weren't on.

This pic is off colored, but it still shows the match of all three light sources (HID, DRL, Turn). This was taken in the middle of a blink.
