I've never seen a true yellow LED comparable to the color of a yellow bulb. They always turn out amber.

Yeah, for some reason the color yellow is difficult to make with LEDs. PIAA ion yellow bulbs are your best bet in matching yellow fogs.

ya i've bought a few bulbs "claiming" to be yellow, but when you get it, its more of an amber color. just wondering if anyone has seen true yellow LEDs.

I'll take a look into those PIAA ion bulbs, thanks chrispy

The PIAA Plasma Ion 194 bulbs are a dead on match.
