Default Spyder Fog Lights

I am looking for some feedback from those that have these.

How's the light output?
Does the color match the headlights?
Any fitment issues?
Does the switch go next to the BSM button?
Are you pleased overall?

Light output: mediocre, but it does light up the road right in front of you. it also has a cutoff, so it wont blind oncoming traffic.
Color match: almost exactly
Fitment: fits like a glove. oem holes line up with no issues
Switch: yes, anywhere where there's a dead switch slot
Pleased: very. for the amount i paid, it was a no brainer.

here's a few pics from my build thread

I'm interested but I don't see any fog lights for 14-16 on the Spyder website.
Do you have a link?

Are these off white or are they yellow?

Are the bulbs interchangeable? On the website it looks like it's all one unit.

Anyone have a picture of the switch installed? The website doesn't even show the face of the button.

^^^The color match is not identical out of the box but I assume the bulbs can be changed?

There's another thread here that says they don't match the heads. That's what I assume most ppl want to match?

~They are not yellow. My picture does not show the best color. They are pretty close to the drl color (which, to me, has more of a yellow tone than the headlights).
~I can't answer regarding bulb replacement.
~The switch, imo, is the worst aspect of these lights. The button has the typical foglight picture, but the light color is green and BRIGHT. I'll see if I can find a better button option in the future, maybe even a stalk from a junk yard. But, I am very pleased with these fog lights.
