Yay!

installed my switchback leds and they are awesome!

here is the video i just recorded.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kqjDRktMlI


i know if i turn the blinker on the the right or the left it blinks really fast, like there is a dead light bulb... and when i have my hazard lights on they blink normally. I just need to know which resistor to get off from autolumination.com

here is my last thread i posted up in problem and fixes.

i bought the LEDs off from autolumination.com but once you buy the LEDs buy the equalizers too... the product number for our cars are 1157.

thanks! i didnt realize that i needed to order the equalizers til i found out they were blinking really fast like a deadbulb was placed somewhere. anywhom, i ordered the 3ohm 50w resistor and will be installing it in the rear... i will soon order leds for my back turn signals haha...

Nice

Did you have to modify the headlight housing at all for them to fit?
How is the brightness during the day?

They are pretty damn bright during the day... I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
I didn't have to modify the headlight housing at all to get the LEDs to fit. The switchbacks just fit just right in like any other light bulb. As for my Load Equalizers, I had to mount them in a specific area behind the liner so it wouldn't melt.
