Burned out Switchbacks - (need suggestion)

So my switchbacks burned out for some reason, so it only blinks amber when I signal..... I thought about getting a new pair but then I like it how this looks

What kind of switchbacks did you get? I noticed on one of my switchbacks 3/6 of the front LEDS have burnt out. Not too noticable, but i've only had them installed for less than 1 month. I got mine from V-leds.

I complained to autolumination. I KNEW that they know this is a common problem with these bulbs but they won't admit it!! They act like I did something wrong and my case is an isolated incident. OK that's it! I am going to officially label these bulbs as JUNK! Really, I mean I have given these people $100s in business by spreading the word and they should rectify the problem or at least ADMIT that it exists! $50/pair is NOT CHEAP!

As for your car I'd say don't leave them like that. Why do you have to have dead bulbs? No fun when you want to drive at dusk with the parking lights on. Maybe get some amber 7443 LEDs? Not having them on may or may not be illegal in your state. Even if it is I doubt cops will notice.
