switchbacks TOO blue? HIDguy's will not match 5k HIDs

I just put in my switchbacks and assumed they'd match my 55w 5k HID's. I wanted white on white on white.

Nope. If you can barely tell the color difference in my crappy cell phone picture imagine what it looks like in real life.
This is killing me more than the amber corners in my bumper lights!

Anyone else have this problem? Did you switch HID bulbs to match? Do they switchbacks differ for each vendor?

These were HIDguy bulbs.

My switchbacks matched my 8000K HID's perfectly, that' probably what they would match for you also

Yes, leds will differ from vendor to vendor. Sometimes very difficult to match leds to hids, unless you get lucky.

Makes sense guys. Thanks for the input.

Just a FYI from HID guy for those about to drop $50 on switchbacks---

"Well these aren't going to match very well with your 5k lights.
Switchbacks are most going to match with any where from 6k to 8k kelvin
rating lights."
