so i've been going back and forth on how to get my switchbacks to not show white and only orange.

well, the answer finally presented itself a few days ago, if you have the LED switchbacks, if you start/stop the engine with the lights on, EVENTUALLY the white will go out, btu the orange still works.

will post pics later, it's a shitty day in NY today. but i'm finally diggin the whole

cleared + blacked out + 1 CFFL ring.

that's all,

 

i know that ppl have brought this up before, but it's never been like a DEFINITE, "yes, if you do this long enough this is what happens". - now i turn my lights off all the time for fear that the CFFLs will burn out! lol

 

yeah i figured this out too but i like the white, so i sent them back and got a free pair.. although now the colors of the white are a little bit different from each other.. =\

 

also when my whites went out, they went out only on one side..

 

u could just get an orange led turn signal.. thats what I am using..

 

cant you just break the pin off for the parking lights? or cut the parking light wire. it can always be spliced back. or Vleds type 2 Leds if not blinking white

 

yea i was using the silverbulbs, but w my blacked out inside, the orange bulb wasn't bright enough

yea rocky told me to try that or buy the 7442 smt bulbs or something....but i was too lazy to try it out


yea originally one side went out, but i figured if i did it long enough the other side would go out too lol

 

Guess I better not start/stop my engine with my lights on because I like my white...

 

lolz JCL, doing things the hard way. You are intentionally trying to give it voltage spikes to fry them, haha.

 

lol, i already told you guys that this works, it's been like this on my old type s headlights for a while

 

+1

 

where the pics at?

 

what is a switchback led

 

LED turn signals that are white running lights and amber turn signals.. see infamouslinks avatar on this thread.
