So the last bulbs i got were switchbacks 60 leds. from iJDM
and they sucked shit

im wondering if the v-led ones might be brighter?

should i get new switchbacks 60 leds?

ARE WHITE TURN SIGNALS ILLEGAL?!

ed_423

your turn signals are suppose to blink amber. but kinda like tint, sometimes you get pulled over, other times you dont

I would do amber but I'm parsimonious so I'm just gonna color my stock bulbs orange lol

I read my laws in LA and they say: "Turn signals may be any shade between amber and white" so I asked a police man about it and he says "So technically, it's not illegal for white turn signals"

I would look up your local laws if I were you.

I'm in LA county. So I could get white turn signals?
Could you post where you read it?

TSXKid2010

LA is in Louisiana buddy. Read it in my info under my picture. I'm not sure where I can find it again though, I had to dig pretty deep at my school's computers because they have access to archives and stuff

Just put vled 6k switchback and looks pretty bright. Love it

npathak

wait! which ones? the smaller ones or that big ones?
because the smaller ones are in stock but the big ones aren't

how bright are the small ones? during day time?

KillerG

front signals: amber and white
rear: amber or red

Yeah i think big one was out of stock. I got the 60led and looks pretty bright at night. Not sure how bright u want it to be during the day.

Rear white turns are pretty hard to see in the daytime with the sun overhead. I have polarg white bulbs in my rears and unless you're looking directly at the housing to see if its blinking, you really can't tell. Whenever I drive in the daytime I make sure I'm signaling long before I change lanes or turn just in case. But the upside is at night the whites look super bright and its a definite contrast to your average amber bulb. Had it for a couple months and no issues so far. I've turned and had emergency blinkers on in front of cops and they never did anything.

hk55874, did you need resistors for your switchbacks or did your ecu automatically detect and adjust for it?

npathak

i just want it do be decent during the day.
i posted a video on the iJDM ones that i got, are they that bright?

pbhak002

LED's aren't gonna be bright as stock, unless u get the big VLEDS. I have ijdm switchbacks, and they look great at night. During the day, however, they are not that amazing, but they do get the job gone. Did u install resistors too?

npathak

so i returned the ijdm ones and bought the vled switchbacks 60led 6k.
im going to install them now so i can post a video.

VortexBlueTSX

let me know if they hyperblink because i have heard some peoples auto adjust others had to install resistors IDK what to do haha

mkeefe

My turn signals hyper-flash right now, I have to stop procrastinating and get out there to install some resistors for them!

ecko508

i told you matt ill do it for ya

pbhak002

ecko which t-taps did u use to install ur resistors? thanx

KillerG

hey pb^ use a wire stripper to check the guage of wire that that the resistor uses and then pick up the appropriate sized taps at your local wireshack

they usually come in 14-18 (blue) and 18-22 (red)
