I know qfrog and I believe mica have done blue to red which is the same thing, but I could have sworn I saw a writeup somewhere and just can't find it in the search. Thanks.

Default lol thanks...while most people hate the look of the mirrors

I feel they function so much better then stock. I don't want to pay money for the blindspot glass so these stay.

Default I suspect the blue diodes draw more current than the red

and possibly at a different voltage. I've done blue to red but I'm not sure if the reverse is possible.

Default Read up on chromatic aberration of the eye.

There's a reason blue sucks. It's not just because it's blue.
