Best Switchbacks for your buck

Last week I got around to taking apart my headlights and blacking them out. I took out my amber diffuser and put in my VLEDs V2 Switchbacks to compensate for not having an amber bulb. At night it looks fine, but I've found that during the day it is difficult to see my turn signals. What would you guys recommend as a brighter switchback solution?

The VLed V3 Triton is probably the brightest one out there in terms of just a bulb replacement system.

No issues with brightness and ive had them for over a year. Not cheap, however.

vleds triton. it will blow anything else out of the water. it's expensive though....but worth it.
i've had mine for 2-3 years.

regarding vleds, i just looked up my past orders and i've been running some my LEDs from there for over 7 years...quality stuff from vleds!

These appear to not be in stock..... I wish I could grab a pair! Would incline me to just go zkw-r and take out the amber too.

for me if I ever go switch back I would spend money on Triton V3, the main weakness of LED is dim in direct sunlight. YES it even happen with so call "high power" LED.
