Default LED Switchbacks Replace LED Amber

A few pics of my "switch" to switchbacks this afternoon. Also lubed up the golden rods as I plan to adjust my ACAs later tonight when it gets dark.

I think the White LED matches up pretty well with the 4300 temp HID fogs/lows. I love the "dusk" look when I have the fogs and white corners on.

1.) LED White Switchbacks
2.) LED White Switchbacks with HID Fogs
3.) LED White Switchbacks with HID Fogs with HID Lows
4.) LED White Switchbacks with HID Fogs with HID Lows with Halogen Highs - Man does that light up the night! I tried that on a remote road last night and it seemed like I could see for miles...

Thanks. All my HID/LED lighting, both front/back and interior/exterior has been provided by JW Motoring. He commented above/earlier. ^^^^^

I've got the same setup and love them. I think this is a mod everyone should do!
