I've been looking for some not-so-expensive LED lights to use as fogs. From what I've read a 70-120 degree pattern would work best.

Problem is all the LED lights in that beam pattern are 6500k. When used with a yellow cover do they actually look yellow? Or does the slightly blueish tint of 6500k make them appear green?

Thanks

They're not gonna appear green.... Most leds are a pure bright white. They don't generally appear bluish. Maybe in pictures some may look a little bluish.. I think they look more like 5000k.

Which lights exactly are you looking at??

Just cheapo Amazon ones. I have a big light bar for real light, I just wanted something to mimic stock style fog lights.
