It looks like you have it crimped to a white wire with red stripes. Is green and black the color of the wires on the load equalizer? If so, what color is the other wire you have the load equalizer crimped to?

My turn signal bulbs, running light bulbs, and 3 ohm load equalizers got shipped out yesterday!!

Are the silver bulbs as bright as the switchbacks? I want corners in front and back to stay amber but brighter than stock right now. If I have to do the 3ohm gig, there any DIY or instructions? Thanks.

Those lights look sick

i'll see if i can do a DIY later.....

i don't feel like taking off my front light just to show how you put in a switchback led....
i realigned all my headlights to make it flush...

i will show you how to do resistor thing..

maybe tonight

thanks man, yeah you don't have to show me pics, but just a procedure or something. They do have amber only right? I was gonna go silver bulbs back in the day (2 years ago) but they were way too dim back then. These ones u got are much more to my liking.

you can put them without the resistors. however, if you don't use resistors. you will have your switchbacks blinking really really quickly.

the resistors are what makes them blink normally.

no DIY.. i've been on a modding frenzy lately.

Its been a thread revival week so I might as well contribute, with switchbacks does the led match the stock 4300k HID lowbeam?

V-LEDS TYPE 2 DUAL COLOR CHANGING WHITE/AMBER 60 M-SMT TURN SIGNAL BULBS 1157 2057

kidduce,these have a 6000k white light. they are really neat because they flash amber and then go back to white. i guess so people don't think your a cop.

since i black out my turn signal i am looking for a brighter turn signal, i wonder how much brighter these are than the OEM 1157 bulbs are? i would imagine these would be brighter against the blacked out than OEM bulbs.
