Amber lighting for DRL?

Was wondering if anyone has bought or knows where to buy cheap led for DRLs which are amber. I've only found one website but they're selling them for $45 which I think is quite expensive for lights. I think these would look quite aggressive with blacked out housing for those who don't want to spend big money on headlights.

I got Nokya 2500K at first, and them change to Optilux 2000K cuz I need them to be more yellow(orange).

I love the 2000k DRL, they looks sexy and like a pair of "angry eyes" when turn on, and make the housing yellow when you turn it off.

The 2000k(or even 2500k) DRL color is much more yellow than the pics show. They are more like orange.

Pics(Off):

Just buy them on amazon.

2000k is close to this color in real life.

I currently have the Nokya 2500k and I like them, but wish they were more yellow. I'll be definitely looking into the 2000k bulbs.

Or you can get an RGB LED bulb and make it any shade of yellow you want: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYIKq0zmDkU&list=TLczurJt724aMAoI8YZh2yx1_ Pik2Ed9Dj"]Multicolor LED Fog/DRLs from Diode Dynamics - YouTube[/ame]

But I'd stick to a halogen or HID bulb if you are concerned with usable light output

Amber are the hardest LED's to make in the proper brightness needed, hence their cost.
