Anyone seen these in person..?

I think I'd be interested in these LEDs (ebay link)... They are White at Low power and Yellow at High power.... Video here (YouTube)

Anyone seem them in "The Wild"?

Just had a freeway run-in with a retread that gave me an excuse to replace my 90 XLT chrome front end with a black GT-style grill, headlight surrounds and clear corners/turn signals and dropped LEDs all around... I got both white and yellow for the marker lights and I like the markers white (I wired them as "running lights" that are always on when ignition is on) but when I've got the lights on, I'm not happy with the effect of white corners and yellow turn signals (Crappy G1 Pics below)
Day

(Yea, I need to paint behind the grill black, that red looks like crap)

Night

(They don't really looks quite that blue in person... I like the idea of all white except when I am turning (If I could be the marker bulbs in the same White/Yellow config, I'd wire them together and that would definitely be sweet)

I just wanted to see if anyone had seen them in person before I drop another 50+$ on turn signal bulbs, lol!

Thats crazy to drop that much on turn signals lol, if you look up your local laws you may be able to use white bulbs as turn signals legally. I know I've read that for my local laws you can.

I may check into it... I'm in (rural) Texas and out here it just really depends on if the cop wants to #*($% with you 99% of the time.... I had a slammed 1969 3 door GMC Suburban with rolled pans front and rear and no front plate for more than 10 years and only got hassled for it once by a cop inna bad mood (front plates are required by law but it's seldom (in my/friends experience) enforced)... Sorta like tint, they only get ugly about it if they are just looking for a reason to bust your chops ... I've got some money to burn ATM (there's a few (*very* few ) upsides to medical lawsuit settlements), so think I'll order them and see how they turn out...
