Thought about having someone chop one onto my old avi, but then I found this one. Is it sad that I have a santa hat that looks like that also?

Matt, find me a 9006 6000k LED on eBay for 10 bucks 
All the decent ones I'm seeing are ~$30.

Austin, dont worry about lumens...the LED's go by Watts....the higher the wattage the higher the brightness....kinda like lumens in bulbs....
you shouldnt have to pay $60-70 for it....you should score it off ebay for like 10-15 bucks as Matt mentioned...

I really hate eBay sometimes. I hate ordering shit from China and Hong Kong. Takes a month before you even get it. 
Rather spend a little extra through VLEDs. They usually have promo codes going too.

I have gotten bulbs I ordered from China and Hong Kong in a few days, maybe a week at the most. Trust me, I was only getting VLED stuff there for a while, and its all the same shit.

those looks good....rated at 5W so they will be plenty bright and its 360deg and hence the fog lamp housing will reflect as much light as possible....
the only thing is they do not look 6000-6500....6000 will have a tint of blue and in the pix i see no blue tint....they look like 5000K to me

Finally added more pics to my "Garage". Ive had em for a while, just forgot to put them in there. I really need to make a progress thread, the only people that see my progress are the local folks 
Although there is not a ton of progress going on, so it's probably for the better.
Shit, I'm talking about cars

I'm thinking about adding lower fogs to mine. Not the accord fogs though thinking of doing some small hidden fogs behind the stock lower grill. So they are only visible when they are on. I am like WD in that I don't need them functional. I haven't even read up on the wiring to see how to pull it off.
No accord fogs but will not hide it back there also. Found something, might buy it and customize it but wiring is the only thing that pushes me away.
Yes I did check DIY and guitarplayer has a clear thread about it but at the end I still have no idea about wiring
6000k HID's and I think my switchbacks are 5000k.
However they're not all that bright since I don't have a diffuser so I'm thinking of getting the new TRITON bulbs from VLED's. And new rear turn signal bulbs, both my mom and GF say they can't see my rear turn signal during the day.

Brightness is not the main reason, they are still ok after what JnC did but what I want is, when I turn the signal on, I want light to turn on and turn off totally
Godamn it
I remember my dad saying let's go to the F1 race
after that, totally forgot it
I even missed the race, what the hell I was doing that weekend

MEKO, find a Type 2 switchback. Lights up white, turns orange when you signal. Type 2 will signal amber-off-amber-off.
Type 1 will signal amber-white-amber-white.
Type 1 will signal amber-white-amber-white.

Okay that seller on Amazon has a shipping estimate of 17-28 business days. They can choke on a testicle.

J. said I would get puple color if I put white led there.. True
and I don't want white, I know it will not match with my HIDs and will make me crazy
I will look for a type that will light up orange, and when I turn signal, same output (brightness) will turn on and off
