Finally got my switchbacks but they are switchedback!!

So I came home and finally got my switchbacks and ran downstairs to put them in. Turned on my parking lights to make sure they worked and they were freaken AMBER. Then I turned on the turn signals and they flashed white. Oh boy was I pissed.

I tried putting them in the other way but it seems 1157 bulbs can only go in one way. Am I wrong or is there a way to get the white to light up and turn to amber instead of the stupid current set up that will get me pulled over.

just a thought...try splicing the wires and solder them the other way, so instead of a-a b-b make it go a-b and b-a

sorry if it doesnt make any sense

That sorta makes sense but I don't feel comfortable messing with wires like that. I'll just tell the seller and get it fixed if theres no way I can fix it easier.

Did you order the right ones? If so, then send it back to the seller for a refund or exchange.
