Cool V3 Triton LEDs (including switchbacks) or oldschool organge with white housings

I plan to add the JDM clear corners, but after looking at how the orange bulbs actually look in the clear housings all over the car, I find it actually looks pretty nice and retro!

I have thought about putting all V3 Triton LEDs in clear housings to give the plain white bulb look while getting the LED techonology. I am undecided about the front whether I will use the V3 Triton Switchback LEDs. I have noticed the switchback on a lot of the newer high end vehicles.

Probably going to at least add LEDs for the rear turn signals to clear up the 'egg' look in the clear housings. Just not sure about the front. What are everyones thoughts on mods already made or plan to make for lighting.

Question

Also, are the Monogram/GT86 HID lights 5K or 6K HID, as I would want the switchbacks to match.

Chad, my man... I was a little upset with your face palm inducing matching jacket thread, but I forgive you. But now, why two threads?

I thought all cars with HID's come stock with 4300K? Ever consider chrome bulbs? Significantly cheaper, no more orange bulbs, and still blinks amber. Only issue is when your front signals stay on, they will glow amber, vs the switch blacks glowing white and blinking amber.
